MIBI-THYR: Value of the Combination Ultrasonography With Ti-RADS Score / Dual Tracer Scintigraphy MIBI-Tc99m/Iodine-123 in the Detection of Malignancy of Thyroid Nodules (≥15 mm) Classified Bethesda III or IV on Cytology
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main objective of the study is to show that the addition of ultrasonography to the dual tracer scintigraphy MIBI-Tc99m/Iodine-123 will increase (at least +5%) the negative predictive value compared to the dual tracer scintigraphy alone in detection of malignancy in thyroid nodules ≥15 mm classified as Bethesda III-IV on cytology.
