Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study will investigate a novel ultrasonographic technique called Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) in the pre-operative evaluation of thyroid nodules.
Hypothesis:
1\) SWE is a precise tool for evaluation of thyroid nodules in terms of inter- and intra-observer reliability and day-to-day variation.
The study will be conducted as part of a larger PhD study, and an evaluation of the diagnostic value of thyroid SWE will be evaluated in a larger study.
Perspectives:
An optimization of the pre-operative risk-stratification and diagnosis of thyroid nodules can reduce unnecessary thyroid surgery, with a reduction in morbidity and better use of the economic and surgical resources.
