In the absence of molecular alterations, the risk of malignancy (ROM) was low for AUS and FN in both TI\u2010RADS 3 and 4 categories (&lt;\u200910%). In contrast, TI\u2010RADS 5 nodules diagnosed as AUS or FN had the highest ROM (56%). ROM similarly increased with the TI\u2010RADS score. For AUS, ROM was 14% (TI\u2010RADS 3), 31% (TI\u2010RADS 4), and 60% (TI\u2010RADS 5). For FN, ROM increased from 26% to 44% to 57% across TI\u2010RADS 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Notably, even AUS nodules without detectable mutations had a high ROM of 44% in TI\u2010RADS 5, compared to 10% and 15% in TI\u2010RADS 3 and 4, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings demonstrate distinctive ROMs among AUS and FN stratified by TI\u2010RADS category and underscore the variable utility of molecular testing.
