Comparing a New 3D Technology Used to Measure Thyroid Nodule Volume to Standard Ultrasound

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Thyroid Nodules, Thyroid Nodule

In brief

After thyroid ablation procedure, the volume of the thyroid nodule (s) needs to be measured to see how well the procedure worked. Currently, these volumes are measured using traditional 2D ultrasound imaging. However, this approach comes with limitations because of the information 2D images cannot gather and because of differences in these measurements between different doctors. A new ultrasound technology called PIUR 3D imaging offers a novel alternative approach. The system uses advanced technology to create 3D images and can generate automated volume estimates. The PIUR imaging system, PIUR tUS Infinity, has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to aid in treatment decisions when used alongside traditional 2D ultrasound imaging. The purpose of this study is to test how effective and consistent the PIUR imaging technology is compared to standard 2D ultrasound in measuring thyroid nodule volume.
