Topic overview
The process of evaluating pediatric thyroid nodules at our institution was inconsistent with a high rate of negative biopsies raising concern of appropriate patient selection for biopsy. Our aim was to institute a standardized risk stratification reporting system for thyroid nodules to increase utilization and agreement of TI-RADS reporting at our institution.
