Supplementary Table 1 The C-TIRADS based on the counting method.
| Nodule | Score | Malignancy rate (%) | C-TIRADS category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Absent | NA | 0 | 1, no nodule |
| Present | −1 | 0 | 2, benign |
| 0 | 3, probably benign | ||
| 1 | 2–10 | 4A, low suspicion | |
| 2 | 10–50 | 4B, moderate suspicion | |
| 3–4 | 50–90 | 4C, high suspicion | |
| 5 | >90 | 5, highly suggestive of malignancy | |
| NA | NA | 6, biopsy proved malignant |
