Background: Widespread use of imaging has led to the detection of an increasing number of thyroid nodules. Thyroid societies have recommended the use of Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (TIRADS). However, there is a multitude of such risk stratification systems (RSS) for selecting thyroid nodules for FNA. They may be time consuming and consensus on thyroid nodule descriptors lacks.
