TLDR
The Task Force on Thyroid Nodules of the Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology has developed recommendations for the US diagnosis and US-based management of thyroid nodules as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The detection of thyroid nodules has become more common with the widespread use of ultrasonography (US). US is the mainstay for detecting and making the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules as well as for providing guidance for a biopsy. The Task Force on Thyroid Nodules of the Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology has developed recommendations for the US diagnosis and US-based management of thyroid nodules. The review and recommendations in this report have been based on a comprehensive analysis of the current literature, the results of multicenter studies and from the consensus of experts.

The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology.

TL;DR: The project participants hope that the adoption of this framework will facilitate communication among cytopathologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, and radiologists; facilitate cytologic-histologic correlation for thyroid diseases; facilitate research into the understanding of Thyroid diseases; and allow easy and reliable sharing of data from different laboratories for national and international collaborative studies.

Guidelines and good clinical practice recommendations for Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in the liver - update 2012: A WFUMB-EFSUMB initiative in cooperation with representatives of AFSUMB, AIUM, ASUM, FLAUS and ICUS.

TL;DR: These liver CEUS guidelines and recommendations are intended to create standard protocols for the use and administration of UCA in liver applications on an international basis and improve the management of patients worldwide.

American association of Clinical Endocrinologists, American college of endocrinology, and Associazione Medici Endocrinologi medical guidelines for clinical practice for the diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules - 2016 update

TL;DR: The present document updates previous guidelines released in 2006 and 2010 and states that percutaneous ethanol injection should be the first-line treatment option for relapsing, benign cystic lesions, while US-guided thermal ablation treatments may be considered for solid or mixed symptomatic benign thyroid nodules.

Long-term impact of initial surgical and medical therapy on papillary and follicular thyroid cancer.

TL;DR: Following 131I therapy, whether given for thyroid remnant ablation or cancer therapy, recurrence and the likelihood of cancer death were reduced by at least half, despite the existence of more adverse prognostic factors in patients given 131I.

Solid breast nodules: use of sonography to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions.

TL;DR: Sonography can be used to accurately classify some solid lesions as benign, allowing imaging follow-up rather than biopsy, and this distinction could be definite enough to obviate biopsy.

Risk of malignancy in nonpalpable thyroid nodules: predictive value of ultrasound and color-Doppler features.

TL;DR: The aim of the study was to correlate the sonographic and color-Doppler findings with the results of US-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy and of pathologic staging of resected carcinomas to establish the relative importance of US features as risk factors of malignancy and a cost-effective management of nonpalpable thyroid nodules.
