Diagnostic yield of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (US-guided FNAB) and post-surgical histopathological correlation of thyroid nodules in the Department of Radiology, Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa over a two-year period
… (US)-guided thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a reliable and cost-effective method of distinguishing between benign and malignant nodules before major surgery is performed. Aims: The study aimed to establish the diagnostic yield of US-guided thyroid FNAB's done at …

Discriminating benign from malignant thyroid nodules in real-time using a novel probe with an integrated elastic scattering spectroscopy biopsy syringe
… The current standard of diagnosis, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) yields indeterminate results for approximately 10–25% of biopsies, necessitating thyroidectomy for diagnosis. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a minimally invasive optical biopsy technique that is sensitive to …

An optical smart needle : point-of-care technologies for integrated needle guidance using optical frequency domain ranging
… medical scenarios. In the setting of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), manual palpation is often the only cue for determining the optimal position of the needle. As a result, FNAB procedures frequently yield non-diagnostic tissue. When not guided by an imaging modality, breast and thyroid …

Predicting risk of malignancy in patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules
… ultrasonography and, if needed, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Of all fine-needle aspiration biopsies, 15-30% are indeterminate on cytology (5). While only 3% of these nodules are malignant on average, a much higher percentage of nodules are surgically removed in order to rule out malignancy …
