Comparison of Palpation-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy to Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy in the Evaluation of Thyroid Nodules

Abstract

We consider UGFNAB to be superior to PGFNAB for obtaining adequate material especially for small-sized nodules, as well as providing more accurate cytologic evaluation. Indeed, the difference between the costs of two procedures might be acceptable.
