Radiology report

Isoechoic nodule in the right thyroid lobe measuring 1.2 cm with smooth margins, no microcalcifications. TI-RADS 3.

01 · What did they find?Example

Worth monitoring — discuss at your next appointment

In plain English

A small lump in the right side of your thyroid reflects sound the same way normal thyroid tissue does — one of the reassuring patterns. TI-RADS 3 means “mildly suspicious”: the usual advice is a follow-up ultrasound, not a biopsy.

Detailed findings

  • 1.2 cm isoechoic nodule, right lobe — TI-RADS 3
  • Left lobe unremarkable
  • No abnormal lymph nodes
02 · What about my worry?

About your concern

Does TI-RADS 3 mean cancer?

No. TI-RADS 3 means 'mildly suspicious', with a cancer risk of about 5%. At 1.2 cm the guideline does not call for a biopsy.

What this exam rules out

  • Suspicious calcifications — No microcalcifications: none of the tiny bright specks that push a nodule into a higher-risk category.
  • Ragged edges — The margins are described as smooth, one of the reassuring features on the TI-RADS scale.
03 · What do I do next?

Questions to ask your doctor

  1. Should I repeat the ultrasound, and in how many months?
  2. Do I need thyroid blood tests as well?
04 · Still have a question?

Follow-up chat

Would a biopsy give me a clearer answer?

R

For a 1.2 cm TI-RADS 3 nodule the guideline is to watch, not biopsy — the risk of cancer is around 5%, and a biopsy carries its own uncertainty. Your report suggests a repeat ultrasound instead.

ReadingScan is an online AI ultrasound reader written for patients, not for sonographers. Upload the ultrasound report PDF or a scan image, and it explains each finding in ordinary English — echogenicity, a simple cyst, TI-RADS and O-RADS categories, measurements. It covers thyroid, abdominal, pelvic and vascular ultrasound, and it states what the exam ruled out as well as what it found. It does not diagnose and it does not replace the doctor who read your scan. It makes the ultrasound report you already have readable, in about five minutes.

What most AI readers leave out

Every ultrasound reading answers the worry you arrived with, says what was ruled out, lets you keep asking, and can read an earlier report alongside this one.

“Should I be worried about this result?”

The report answers that first, in plain words, before it lists anything else.

It answers the worry you typed in

Tell us what you are afraid of before you upload. Your ultrasound report opens by addressing that specific question instead of a generic summary.

  • Infection — looked for, not found
  • Fluid collection — none of significant volume

It tells you what was ruled out

Half the relief in a ultrasound report is in what is absent. We list what the exam looked for and did not find, in the same plain language.

“What does ‘no acute abnormality’ actually mean?”

That nothing new or sudden was seen. It says nothing about long-standing changes.

You can keep asking

Follow-up questions about your own ultrasound report, answered with your report in context. Included with the report, not billed separately.

AI explanation vs. radiologist second opinion

Both have their place. We are honest about which one you need: ReadingScan explains your existing sonography report; a licensed radiologist re-reads your images and can change the diagnosis.

Best forUnderstanding your sonogram report before or after seeing your doctorHigh-stakes decisions like a biopsy or a cancer diagnosis

If your case involves a major decision like a breast biopsy or a suspicious nodule, we recommend both: use ReadingScan to understand the vocabulary today, and ask your doctor about a formal second opinion.
