A Novel Ultrasound Probe for Thyroid Imaging and Machine Learning

Summary

The objective of the THYMAL 01 pilot study is to evaluate the Sound Blade Imaging System in subjects with benign thyroid nodules undergoing standard-of-care ultrasound imaging.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants must be ≥ 18 years of age
* Able and willing to sign informed consent
* Known thyroid nodule demonstrated on a prior thyroid US and is undergoing active surveillance of the nodule with serial USs

Exclusion Criteria:

* Unable to lay flat for 15 minutes
* Active neck wounds, dressings, or skin conditions that would interfere with neck US (e.g., preclude transducer placement)
* Cervical spine or back disease that would prevent neck extension and would hinder the ability to obtain accurate thyroid US images
* Previous thyroid surgeries, radiation of face and neck
* Known inflammatory thyroid diseases or thyroiditis (e.g., Graves, Hashimoto)
