Thyroid imaging reporting and data system, abbreviated TIRADS, is a standardized system for reporting thyroid radiology.[1]
Scoring
The scoring is broadly similar to the BI-RADS and consists of six possible categorizations:[2]
| Score | Meaning | Typical management |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | incomplete | come back for more imaging |
| 1 | negative | |
| 2 | benign finding(s) | |
| 3 | probably benign | often short follow-up |
| 4 ‡ | suspicious abnormality | needs biopsy |
| 5 | highly suggestive of malignancy | biopsy to confirm impression |
| 6 | pathologist says there is a malignancy | excision |
Notes:
- ‡ Category 4 has been subdivided into: 4a, 4b and 4c.[3]
- There is a French TIRADS with five categories.[3]
