The purpose of the exhibit is: 1. To review imaging features of thyroid nodules on different imaging modalities, with correlation to their predictive values for benignity and malignancy. 2. To review current evidence-based guidelines for initial workup and follow-up of thyroid nodules. 3. To present a practical diagnostic algorithm that summarizes the current guidelines from various organizations.

- Relevance of Clinical History and Endocrine Profile for Thyroid Nodule Workup - Key Features of Benign Nodules - Key Features of Malignant Nodules - Predictive Values of Imaging Characteristics - Algorithm for Radiological Management of Thyroid Nodules, Including Follow-Up and Fine Needle Aspiration and Decision Flow Chart Based on Summary of Recommendations from Various Guidelines
