All TIRADSs were reliable to stratify the risk of cancer in focal TI. Comparing their reliability in indicating FNA, we found a good performance of EU-TIRADS and K-TIRADS. Considering the high cancer percentage expected in this setting of patients, those TIRADS with higher propensity to indicate FNA should be preferred.
