Abstract
Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for thyroid lesions has proven safe and effective; however, FNAB has limitations, including the frequent occurrence of nondiagnostic and inconclusive results and technical challenges in specific clinical scenarios. To address these limitations, core needle biopsy (CNB) was introduced, and substantial advancements have been made in CNB devices and techniques. Evidence from large patient cohorts indicates that CNB is not only safe and reliable but also provides superior diagnostic accuracy compared with FNAB. This review discusses recent advancements in CNB techniques to optimize tissue sampling, the diagnostic performance of CNB, and patient-centered perspectives, highlighting the potential of CNB as a selective first-line biopsy modality.

期刊介绍：
Ultrasonography, the official English-language journal of the Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound. It is renamed from the Journal of Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine in January 2014, and published four times per year: January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Original articles, technical notes, topical reviews, perspectives, pictorial essays, and timely editorial materials are published in Ultrasonography covering state-of-the-art content.
Ultrasonography aims to provide updated information on new diagnostic concepts and technical developments, including experimental animal studies using new equipment in addition to well-designed reviews of contemporary issues in patient care. Along with running KSUM Open, the annual international congress of KSUM, Ultrasonography also serves as a medium for cooperation among physicians and specialists from around the world who are focusing on various ultrasound technology and disease problems and relevant basic science.
