What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Defined echo/elastography benignity criteria
Time Frame: 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
two and half years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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
Time Frame: two and half years
ROC curves for performance of ultrasound, elastography and their coupling, compared to the reference cytology / histology.
two and half years
Assessing the use of elastography in clinical practice
Time Frame: two and half years
two and half years
