Abstract Objective To assess the value of ultrasonographic characteristics and thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) for qualitative diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Methods A total of 347 patients with thyroid nodules underwent surgical treatment in the Affiliated Huai′an No.1 Pecople′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to December 2016 were enrolled. All of the enrolled patients were divided into the benign group (n = 127) and the malignant group (n = 220) according to the postoperative pathological diagnosis results. The ultrasound imaging findings in the two groups were observed and compared. The patients were divided into 1 to 5 grades by TI-RADS classification standard, and the grading diagnosis results were compared with pathological diagnosis results. Results Of the 347 patients, there were 1 case of TI-RADS level 1, 54 cases of TI-RADS level 2, 59 cases of TI-RADS level 3, 51 cases of TI-RADS level 4a, 88 cases of TI-RADS level 4b, 68 cases of TI-RADS level 4c, 26 cases of TI-RADS level 5. Ultrasound images in the malignant group showed characteristics of irregular shape, unclear boundary, microcalcification, and abundant blood flow signals, the propotions of these characteristics were higher than those in the benign group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Among the 347 patients, using grade 4a as the criterion for classifying benign and malignant lesion, the specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of TI-RADS classification was 74.8%, 91.4% and 85.3%, respectively; if only grade 1-3 (representing benign lesion) and grade 4b-5 (representing malignant lesion) were considered, with exclusion of the dubious grade 4a, the specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of TI-RADS classification was 91.3%, 90.1% and 90.1%, respectively. Conclusion The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of TI-RADS classification in diagnosis of thyroid cancer are high. The application of TI-RADS classification is helpful for clinicians to interpret the diagnostic evaluation of ultrasound and thereby to make a reasonable treatment plan. So it has great clinical practical value.
