- description
- Subjects who present with thyroid nodules will be enrolled into the study. Euthyroid and hypothyroid subjects with a solitary thyroid nodule or multinodular goiter will be enrolled. For subjects with a suppressed TSH, a thyroid scan will be performed. Subjects with a hypoactive nodule in the thyroid scan and a low TSH will be enrolled.
