NCT04388956 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: 200805039R
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 300
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

In the outpatient clinic based population setting, the investigators want to reappraise the accuracy of the new model of multi-factorial ultrasound diagnosis with the conventional fine-needle aspiration cytology.

Conditions

Thyroid; Nodule; Diagnoses Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• ultrasound evaluation

  Patients who were eligible for this trial will receive the new model of ultrasound evaluation . The traditional features including echogenicity, margin, heterogeneity, size and the presence of microcalcification will be recorded in the same time. Then the investigators evaluate the thyroid tumor vascularity in sagittal and transverse section by power Doppler mode (wall filter (WF): medium, colour power angiography (CPA): 82, retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF): 1000). The DICOM data of the vascularity index(PDVI) will be collected and analyzed later.

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The investigators plan to recruit 300 patients who have discrete solid thyroid tumors need to undergo fine-needle aspiration cytology to provide the tentative diagnosis. The inclusion criteria were discrete thyroid tumors with mainly solid content (\>50% solid content) and diameter of tumors between 0.5-3cm. The exclusion criteria were abnormal thyroid function, past history of thyroiditis, multinodular goiter, and cystic tumors.

You may qualify if:

• patients who have discrete solid thyroid tumors need to undergo fine-needle aspiration cytology to provide the tentative diagnosis
• discrete thyroid tumors with mainly solid content (\>50% solid content) and diameter of tumors between 0.5-3cm

You may not qualify if:

• abnormal thyroid function, past history of thyroiditis, multinodular goiter, and cystic tumors.
