Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | United States: Institutional Review Board |
Study type | Interventional |
Shear wave ultrasound elastography is a new technique of finding the softness or hardness in tissue by applying a "push" generated by the machine. This technique will help in diagnosing malignancy in the thyroid gland without biopsy and avoiding biopsy in noncancerous nodules.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Correlating stiffness from the SWUS elastography with indentometer and pathology findings | SWUS elastography can provide an objective score of stiffness, i.e., the Elasticity Index. Stiffness from the SWUS elastography will be correlated with the elasticity measured with an indentometer to validate the Elasticity Index. The Elasticity Index will also be correlated with the histopathologic diagnosis. The sensitivity and specificity of the method for the diagnosis of malignancy will be assessed. |
Up to 2 months. A one-time SWUS elastography will be performed on Day 1 within 2 months prior to the patients scheduled clinical FNA or surgery. | No |
Secondary | Correlating SWUS findings with routine US findings | The investigators will compare the SWUS findings to the routine US findings. This will help us develop criteria based on combined findings to decide if a thyroid nodule is suspicious enough to warrant a FNA biopsy. These criteria can then be used for future prospective studies. | Up to 2 months. A one-time SWUS elastography will be performed on Day 1 within 2 months prior to the patients scheduled clinical FNA or surgery. | No |
