Thyroid Ultrasound Elasticity (TrUE) Imaging
Multi-Angle Compound Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging for the Characterization of Thyroid Nodules

Detaljerad beskrivning
Thyroid ultrasound is a first-line procedure to assess patients with thyroid nodules. Unfortunately, standard ultrasound has low sensitivity, and thus low positive predictive value, for malignancy and many patients with thyroid nodules are referred for additional imaging studies or biopsy. Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) is a non-invasive ultrasound technology that allows clinicians to assess the stiffness of tissues. In many solid tumors, increased stiffness is highly specific for underlying malignancy, and preliminary studies have shown this to be true for thyroid malignancies. Both standard sonography and SWEI can be performed on the same ultrasound equipment and within the same imaging session. Therefore, integrating SWEI into standard thyroid diagnostic workflow is a logical approach towards improving the positive predictive value of these first-line sonographic studies. Other studies have demonstrated the ability of SWEI techniques to differentiate benign from malignant thyroid nodules. However, shear wave techniques still need to overcome challenges before they can be successfully integrated into the clinical paradigm. These techniques still struggle to accurately classify follicular carcinomas and few have been validated in patients with multiple thyroid lesions, a scenario which is clinically common. The researchers believe that a multi-angle compound SWEI (MAC-SWEI) algorithm, which generates shear images based on multiple angled push beams, has the potential to generate more accurate shear wave images in the context of thyroid imaging. To this end, this study will perform proof-of-concept studies of MAC-SWEI in thyroid patients undergoing standard ultrasound scans and compare the results of shear wave images to results from corresponding pathology.
Study participants will undergo a single SWEI session within their normally-scheduled preadmission testing during which both standard b-mode and shear images of the thyroid nodule(s) will be acquired. The 36 patients will be randomized to receive MAC-SWEI, standard SWEI, and ultrasound, or only standard SWEI and ultrasound.

MAC-SWEI, standard SWEI, ultrasound
Participants in this group will receive all three imaging techniques
|
All ultrasound images will be acquired by an in-house ultrasound technologist using a Verasonics Vantage (Verasonics Inc., Kirkland, Washington, USA) ultrasound system.
During imaging, the technologist will position the Verasonics transducer, under b-mode guidance, in planes overlying the thyroid nodules approximating those obtained during previous clinical ultrasound scans.
Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) is obtained during the standard ultrasound session.
The generation of shear wave images consists of two important steps called "pushing" and "tracking".
First, in the "pushing" mode, a long focused ultrasound beam is transmitted to perturb tissue, generating ultrasonic shear waves in tissue that propagate perpendicular to the direction of pushing.
In the "tracking" mode, shear wave propagation is observed and recorded.
Because the speed of shear waves is a function of Young's modulus, these data reveal information about the stiffness of underlying biological tissue.

The multi-angle compound SWEI (MAC-SWEI) algorithm, which generates shear images based on multiple angled push beams, has the potential to generate more accurate shear wave images in the context of thyroid imaging.
To assess the MAC-SWEI technique, shear wave images will be used to generate estimates of the relative stiffness of lesions via their normalized Young's modulus.
