Explore the comprehensive ACR TIRADS Classification system for thyroid nodule ultrasound in this 30-minute video tutorial. Delve into various composition types, including cystic, spongiform, mixed, and solid nodules. Learn to distinguish echogenicity patterns, from anechoic to very hypoechoic. Examine nodule shapes and margins, including smooth, ill-defined, lobulated, and extra-thyroidal extension. Understand echogenic foci, such as comet-tail artifacts, macrocalcifications, and microcalcifications. Master the TIRADS scoring system, covering benign (TIRADS 1) to highly suspicious (TIRADS 5) classifications. Gain valuable insights into thyroid imaging interpretation and risk assessment through real case examples presented by Dr. Sam's Imaging Library.
