Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the AMC and SWE elastography
Time Frame: at inclusion, before surgery
Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the AMC and SWE elastography in patients with a thyroid nodule CI taking as reference the histology of the nodule.
at inclusion, before surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography SWE
Time Frame: at inclusion, before surgery
For elastography SWE validate decision thresholds for the parameters of elasticity of thyroid nodules, and evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography SWE combined with those of the standard ultrasound.
at inclusion, before surgery
Establish a combined diagnostic score results of elastography
Time Frame: at inclusion, before surgery
Establish a combined diagnostic score results of elastography, the standard ultrasound and molecular analysis
at inclusion, before surgery
