- label
- Tissue Stiffness by Elastography
- description
- Potentially cancerous thyroid nodules were assessed by elastrography, then a fine needle biopsy specimen or the surgically-excised nodule was assessed pathologically to determine cancer status.

- Device: Siemens Acuson S3000 ultrasound system
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Stiffness of Thyroid Nodules as Measured by Elastography
- timeFrame
- 1 week
- description
- Potentially cancerous thyroid nodules will be assessed elastographically, and cancer status will be determined from a fine needle aspiration biopsy results or the surgically excised nodule. The outcome will be reported as median tissue stiffness with standard deviation for nodules that were determined non-cancerous (benign), cancerous, or indeterminate.
