Last updated 2008-05-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients over the age of 18 with thyroid nodules scheduled for surgery will undergo EIS scan. Each node will be scanned and graded form 1-5 (1=benign, 5=malignant). Results will be compared with final histopathology.

Conditions

  • Thyroid Neoplasms
  • Thyroid Nodules

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrical Impedance Scanning (EIS) of the Thyroid gland

Patients will be examined in the supine position. A cylinder electrode conveying 2.5V electrical current will be held by the patient. The patient will be scanned by a probe (similar to an ultrasound probe. The examination takes 5 minutes and there is no risk or discomfort.
