A Review about C-TIRADS, ACR-TIRADS, and K-TIRADS Combined with Real-Time Tissue Elastography to Diagnose Thyroid Nodules.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the Chinese version of thyroid imaging reporting and data system (C-TIRADS), American College of Radiology (ACR)-TIRADS, and Korean (K)-TIRADS combined with real-time tissue elastography to diagnose thyroid nodules.
Methods: A total of 574 thyroid nodule ultrasonographic images were retrospectively analyzed and classified based on the three TIRADS methods. The MedCale statistical software was used to construct the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve based on the pathological results of surgery. The diagnostic efficiency before and after assessing elastographies from the three TIRADS was compared between C-TIRADS, ACR-TIRADS, and K-TIRADS groups and within before and after TIRADS combined with elastic imaging. Furthermore, the unnecessary biopsy rates were also compared. Comparing area under ROC curve (AUC) with MEDCALC software (20.0.15, MedCalc Software Ltd., Ostend, Belgium), Delong test was used. The sensitivity and specificity were compared by STATA software (15.1, StataCorp LP, College Station, TX, USA) and Chi-square test. The rate of unnecessary biopsy was compared by SPSS software (23.0, IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) and Chi-square test.
Results: C-TIRADS, ACR-TIRADS, K-TIRADS cut-off values, and real-time tissue elastography (RTE) were 4b, 5, 5, and 3, respectively, and the areas under the ROC curve were 0.932, 0.914, 0.904, and 0.883, respectively. C-TIRADS had the highest AUC (p < 0.05) and sensitivity (p < 0.001), while ACR-TIRADS had the highest specificity (p < 0.001). After conducting a combined elastography with the three TIRADS, AUC showed increases of different degrees. Comparing TIRADS with TIRADS+RTE, the difference of C-TIRADS had statistical significance (p < 0.001), but the difference of ACR-TIRADS and K-TIRADS had no statistical significance (p > 0.05). The unnecessary biopsy rate showed decreases of different degrees. Differences between C-TIRADS and K-TIRADS were significant (p < 0.05), but in the case of ACR-TIRADS were not significant (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: C-TIRADS, ACR-TIRADS, K-TIRA and RTE showed high diagnostic efficiency, with C-TIRADS having the highest. Real-time tissue elastography can improve TIRADS diagnostic efficiency and reduce its unnecessary biopsy rate. In this case C-TIRADS showed again the highest efficiency.
