Popis: Objective: The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the quality of postoperative neck ultrasound (POU) for thyroid cancer patients after implementing European Thyroid Association (ETA) guideline-based POU assessment. Methods: Our analysis involved 672 differentiated thyroid cancer patients. POU report quality was compared between the implementation radiology group (IRG), which implemented ETA guideline-based assessment in 2018, and all non-implementation radiology groups (NIRG). Differences in POU quality were evaluated before and after the implementation of guideline-based assessment. Additionally, we evaluated the ability of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level
