    Annotation The results of examination and treatment of 399 patients aged 12 to 83 years with thyroid nodules of various morphological structures were analyzed. All patients were ranked into 2 groups. Group 1 included 127 (37.6 %) patients who underwent a fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules. The 2nd group included 212 (62.4 %) patients who underwent ultrasound examination using the TI-RADS system, sonoelastography in combination with fine needle aspiration biopsy. Surgical treatment was performed in 50 (group 1) (39.3 %) of 127 patients, benign tumors were diagnosed in 40 (80 %), malignant tumors in 10 (20 %). Surgical treatment in group 2 was performed in 52 (24.5 %) of 212 patients, benign tumors were detected in 33 (63.5 %) patients, malignant in 19 (36.5 %). The combined use of the TI-RADS system, sonoelastography and fine needle aspiration biopsy contributed to a significant increase in the frequency of detection of thyroid nodules of malignant structure, which amounted to 36.5 % in patients of the main group (versus 20 % in patients of the control group) and a decrease in the frequency of surgical interventions by more than 1.5 times in patients of the second group.
