In the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, both FNAC and ultrasound demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy. Ultrasound showed a higher specificity, while FNAC exhibited a higher sensitivity. Combining these techniques may improve diagnostic accuracy. Further research and the development of more reliable diagnostic methods are warranted to optimize the management of thyroid nodules and avoid unnecessary surgeries.
