Specimen adequacy and diagnostic specificity of ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspirations of nonpalpable thyroid nodules

Ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration (USG‐FNA) is a safe, effective, and dependable test used to assess thyroid nodules. However, the size of the lesion can adversely affect the outcome of the procedure. The aim of this study was to assess specimen adequacy and diagnostic specificity in USG‐FNA of thyroid nodules measuring ≤1.5 cm.
