Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the AMC and SWE elastography
Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the AMC and SWE elastography in patients with a thyroid nodule CI taking as reference the histology of the nodule.
Time frame: at inclusion, before surgery
evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography SWE
For elastography SWE validate decision thresholds for the parameters of elasticity of thyroid nodules, and evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography SWE combined with those of the standard ultrasound.
Time frame: at inclusion, before surgery
Establish a combined diagnostic score results of elastography
Establish a combined diagnostic score results of elastography, the standard ultrasound and molecular analysis
Time frame: at inclusion, before surgery
