Color Doppler is a valuable non-invasive method for evaluating thyroid nodules, and it is a high-sensitivity diagnostic tool for assessing thyroid nodules. Resistive index > 0.75 and a pattern III or more in color Doppler predicts malignant with the confidence. Due to its precision, cost-efficiency, easy access, and non-invasive nature, color Doppler should be included in the standard clinical protocol for the decision-making period and the treatment evaluation.
