Thyroid Incidentalomas: Practice Considerations for Radiologists in the Age of Incidental Findings.

Journal: Radiologic clinics of North America
Published Date: Nov 1, 2020

Abstract

Radiologists very frequently encounter incidental findings related to the thyroid gland. Given increases in imaging use over the past several decades, thyroid incidentalomas are increasingly encountered in clinical practice, and it is important for radiologists to be aware of recent developments with respect to workup and diagnosis of incidental thyroid abnormalities. Recent reporting and management guidelines, such as those from the American College of Radiology and American Thyroid Association, are reviewed along with applicable evidence in the literature. Trending topics, such as artificial intelligence approaches to guide thyroid incidentaloma workup, are also discussed.
