Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Metabolic-sonographic nodule allocation

The number of correct assignments of metabolic function of each nodule will be assessed for each group seperately. A three-point scale will be used for evaluation of the nodule's function and the degree of the physicians certainty will be investigated using a four-point scale.

Time frame: 1 year
