Applying potential modifications to the ACR TI-RADS™ guideline lowering the size threshold criteria of the thyroid nodule to guide management decisions for pediatric thyroid nodules can lead to early detection of malignant nodules in children, but at the cost of a significantly increased number of biopsies or ultrasound exams. Further tailoring of the guideline with larger multicentric studies is needed, before warranting its acceptance and general use in the pediatric population.
