This educational activity allows the learner to further develop their interpretation proficiency of thyroid nodules by using ACR TI-RADS to reduce unnecessary biopsies.
This activity is divided into a pre-test comprised of seven cases, followed by 18 learning cases (with case feedback), and a post-test of seven cases.
The learner will assess each case for sonographic features including composition, echogenicity, margins, shape, and echogenic foci, to determine the risk category.
