Abstract
Appearance of a thyroid nodule has become a daily occurrence in clinical practice. Adequate thyroid nodule assessment requires several diagnostic tests and multiple medical appointments, which results in a substantial delay in diagnosis. Implementation of a high-resolution thyroid nodule clinic largely avoids these drawbacks by condensing in a single appointment all tests required for adequate evaluation of thyroid nodule. This paper reviews the diagnostic and functional structure of a high-resolution thyroid nodule clinic.Keywords: Consulta de alta resolución; Diagnostic efficiency; Ecografía tiroidea; Eficiencia diagnóstica; High-resolution clinic; Nódulo tiroideo; Thyroid nodule; Thyroid ultrasound
