Thyroid nodules as small as 2mm can be detected by new technologies such as ultrasound, CT and MRI scanning . Many of these small nodules are papillary thyroid cancers. In the US, cases have tripled in the past 30 years - from 3.6 per 100,000 in 1973 to 11.6 per 100,000 in 2009 - making it one of the fastest growing diagnoses.
