Abstract: In this reviews we provide the most recent information about diagnosis of thyroid nodules and discuss the efficiency of ultrasonography diagnosis, which is the first line test. We searched multiple electronic databases using a search strategy to find relevant studies related to our topic from inception to July 2018. Eligible studies included ultrasonography diagnosis thyroid nodules. Thyroid ultrasound need to be carried out in all patients with a presumed thyroid nodule or nodular goiter on physical exam or with nodules incidentally kept in mind on various other imaging research studies (carotid ultrasound, CT, MRI, or FDG-PET scan). Diagnosis and also therapy of thyroid nodules is extremely determinate by very early assessment, medical criteria applying US and also FNA as initial test. They should be practical, reliable and cost-effective.
