Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS)
Open accessAbstract
Ultrasound (US) is the best diagnostic choice for thyroid nodules.Recently, the thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TIRADS) has been developed for risk stratification of thyroid nodules using various US features, similar to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) for evaluating breast lesions.The reporting system can allow effective communication between the reporting doctors, such as radiologists, cytologists, and clinicians using standardization and simplification of the reports.In this review, I discuss several TIRADS systems developed.

Reporting and Data Systems (RADS) were developed to standardize imaging reports for various organs, especially focusing on cancer detection, providing structured reporting formats and risk stratification to improve communication between radiologists and referring clinicians.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
