Forty-six patients with single cold thyroid nodules (SCTN) were studied prospectively to evaluate radio-iodine scans and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) as outpatient and preoperative diagnostic modalities and frozen section (FS) and paraffin section (PS) as excisional biopsies. In our series FNAB has a reasonable sensitivity (75%), good specificity (87%), a low positive predictive value of 38% and a high negative value of 97%. It has a false negative rate of 2.3% and a false positive rate of 56%.
对46例单发甲状腺冷结节（SCTN）患者进行了前瞻性研究，以评估放射性碘扫描和细针穿刺活检（FNAB）作为门诊和术前诊断方法，以及冷冻切片（FS）和石蜡切片（PS）作为切除活检的情况。在我们的系列研究中，FNAB具有合理的敏感性（75%）、良好的特异性（87%）、较低的阳性预测值38%和较高的阴性预测值97%。其假阴性率为2.3%，假阳性率为56%。
