Official title
Multi-Angle Compound Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging for the Characterization of Thyroid Nodules
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this study the researchers will scan the thyroid nodules of patients scheduled for surgical removal of these nodules. During their preadmission testing, but prior to their surgery, the researchers will perform standard ultrasound and shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) scans of the thyroid nodules in these patients. Both images can be generated by the same ultrasound scanner and within the same imaging session without having to switch out any equipment. The results of the SWEI scans will be compared to the definitive diagnosis from pathology obtained after pathologists have examined the removed nodules post-operatively.
