We thank Dr. Tessler and his colleagues from the American College of Radiology Thyroid
Imaging, Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) committee for their letter. They
are correct to note that our manuscript discussed the points system and recommended
biopsy thresholds reported in the latest ACR TI-RADS white paper without citing this

for biopsy and surveillance, this system will improve the management of patients with
thyroid nodules.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
