Electrical Impedance Scanning of Thyroid Nodules Prior to Thyroid Surgery: a Prospective Study
Electrical Impedance Scanning of Thyroid Nodules Prior to Thyroid Surgery: a Prospective Study

Patients over the age of 18 with thyroid nodules scheduled for surgery will undergo EIS scan. Each node will be scanned and graded form 1-5 (1=benign, 5=malignant). Results will be compared with final histopathology.

 
 
Observational
Other, Prospective
  • Thyroid Neoplasms
  • Thyroid Nodules
Device: Electrical Impedance Scanning (EIS) of the Thyroid gland

This is a a single arm study evaluating the efficacy and accuracy of EIS in detecting malignant thyroid nodules.

PAtients with thyroid nodules scheduled for surgery will undergo EIS examination.
