    Thyroid cancer is increasingly prevalent, necessitating accurate preoperative diagnosis to guide treatment decisions.

  • 2

    Current ultrasound risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules often yield low specificity for biopsy recommendations.

  • 3

    Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) enhances the visualization of microflow patterns in thyroid nodules, aiding in differentiation between benign and malignant cases.

  • 4

    The study aims to assess the combined diagnostic validity of SMI and greyscale ultrasound in reducing unnecessary biopsies for thyroid nodules.

  • 5

    Microflow patterns identified through SMI may improve the accuracy of thyroid nodule assessments compared to traditional greyscale ultrasound alone.
