Echography (all modes) and elastography "ShearWave" system
Clinical Investigation Center - Technological Innovation - Inserm 803 - University Hospital France
Grenoble, France
Defined echo/elastography benignity criteria
For ultrasound and elastography benignity criteria which will be retained, outcome focus on cytoponctions number for benin nodules can be avoided by taking into account this benign criteria
Time frame: two and half years
Evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography ShearWave for characterization of thyroid nodules in a population of patients referred for needle biopsy or surgery nodule thyroid
ROC curves for performance of ultrasound, elastography and their coupling, compared to the reference cytology / histology.
Time frame: two and half years
Assessing the use of elastography in clinical practice
Time frame: two and half years
