Tirads Descriptors Thyroid Nodules

Public Sono Ai Report guide about Tirads Descriptors Thyroid Nodules, with context, preparation notes, references and safety limits for ultrasound use.

The lexicon comes before the category

The TI-RADS category loses its value when the description does not allow reconstructing the score. The goal of this page is to reduce ambiguity in points that generate errors: spongiform versus solid nodule, reference echogenicity, poorly defined versus irregular margin, and punctate focus versus comet-tail.

Five groups of descriptors

Tabela: Group | What to observe | Practical caution

Composition without shortcuts

Tabela: Composition | How to think | Pitfall

Echogenic foci

Tabela: Focus | How to recognize | Caution in the report

Limit of assistive AI

AI can organize dictated text, but it should not infer composition, margin, echogenic focus, category, or recommendation when the image and the physician did not confirm these elements.
