Identification and Differentiation of Thyroid Nodules by Acoustic Imaging and Viscoelastic Parameters
This study is being done to identify and differentiate thyroid nodules by acoustic imaging and viscoelastic parameters.
Inclusion: * Male and female patient volunteers ages 8 and up who are suspicious for thyroid cancer; Patients who have palpable and sonographically detectable lymph nodes or nonthyroidal neck masses and are referred to Radiology Department or Endocrinology for fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB); Patients 18 and up who were previously diagnosed with thyroid cancer and treated with thyroidectomy and recently diagnosed as having recurrence nodes on thyroid bed or on their neck.
Exclusion: Having FNAB or surgical biopsy on thyroid in less than two weeks for thyroid nodule detection group; Having FNAB or surgical biopsy on cervical lymph nodes or non- thyroidal masses for this group of patients; Because thyroid cancer is rare under the age of 8 years, children younger than this age are excluded from the study.
