Are all thyroid nodules dangerous?

Today, thyroid ultrasound detects nodules in a huge proportion of healthy people — this isn’t a disease, but the new “normal” in the era of high-sensitivity probes. The risk is determined by its structure, not by the nodule’s size. Ultrasound microfeatures—echogenicity, margins, microcalcifications, and vascularity—predict risk far more accurately than size in centimeters. That’s why two nodules of the same size can have very different prognoses—and why ultrasound remains a key tool in endocrinology, precisely because it captures these critical details.
