The impact of anthropometric parameters and sonographic characteristics on the choice of biopsy method for thyroid nodules: Fine-needle aspiration versus non-aspiration biopsy

Anthropometric parameters and sonographic characteristics influenced the diagnostic yield of FNAB and FNNAB, with FNAB generally demonstrating superior results. Given the importance of obtaining an accurate diagnostic result from fine-needle biopsy, clinicians should consider both the sonographic features of the nodule and the anthropometric measurements of the patient when selecting a biopsy technique.
