Inclusion criteria
* Patient aged over 18 years old * Patient affiliated to social security or similarly regime * Patients referred for fine needle aspiration or surgery with one or more thyroid nodules
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with too much thyroid nodules or topography too imprecise to allow unambiguous correlation between echo/elastography data and histology/cytology data * Patients withan echography/elastography indications cons * Pregnant women and lactating mothers * Adult unable to express their consent * Ward of court or under guardianship * Person under legal protection * Person deprived of freedom by judicial or administrative decision * Person hospitalized without their consent
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Defined echo/elastography benignity criteria | two and half years | For ultrasound and elastography benignity criteria which will be retained, outcome focus on cytoponctions number for benin nodules can be avoided by taking into account this benign criteria |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography ShearWave for characterization of thyroid nodules in a population of patients referred for needle biopsy or surgery nodule thyroid | two and half years | ROC curves for performance of ultrasound, elastography and their coupling, compared to the reference cytology / histology. |
| Assessing the use of elastography in clinical practice | two and half years | — |
