NCT01757834 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 175

Last updated 2015-05-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.
