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:[3]
    • 4a - one suspicious feature.
    • 4b - two suspicious features
    • 4c - three or four suspicious features.
  • There is a French TIRADS with five categories.[3]
