Trial Information

Accuracy of Ultrasound Elastastography in Thyroid Nodular Disease.


Aims:

Primary aim: to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of elastography in thyroid nodules from a
low-risk of thyroid cancer population.

Secondary aim: to evaluate the usefulness of elastography to detect carcinomas in thyroid
nodules with indeterminate FNA.

- Multinodular goiter with dominant nodule > 1 cm.

Exclusion criteria:

- Toxic nodules

- Non-accessible nodules to US or FNA

- Cystic nodules

- Nodules with calcifications in egg rind

- Contraindication for FNA
