The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

2017 Guidelines of the American Thyroid Association for the Diagnosis and Management of Thyroid Disease During Pregnancy and the Postpartum (2011, background): “Recent reports have validated that the identification of defined nodule sonographic patterns representing constellations of sonographic features is more robust for malignancy risk correlation than that associated with individual ultrasound characteristics (447,448).”
2015 American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines for Adult Patients with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: The American Thyroid Association Guidelines Task Force on Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (2009, neutral): “Low suspicion [malignancy risk 5%–10% (89,90,94)].”
Ultrasonography Diagnosis and Imaging-Based Management of Thyroid Nodules: Revised Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology Consensus Statement and Recommendations (2016, methodology): “It has been investigated for its ability for the quantitative estimation of the malignancy risk using scoring systems based on the categorization of the US patterns (25, 86, 87) or based on the calculation of the number of suspicious US features and US risk scores (24, 39, 88).”
