Psf1,

Ultrasound technicians are not necessarily competent to interpret the findings. Some hospitals don't allow the technician to comment. Standard protocol is for a senior radiologist to review the scan and report the findings to your GP.

Nodules <1cm are rarely malignant and may be too small to biopsy. Nodules >1cm with suspicious characteristics may be biopsied otherwise UK protocol is to biopsy nodules >2cm. 95% of nodules are benign.
