What are the requirements?

Permalink Reply by Giovanni Illomei on February 7, 2010 at 1:33am

the basic idea is to use the real time elastosonography in a possible large clinical trial to better define the elasto score in the different thyroid disease from thyroiditis to cancer and the different thyrodi nodule, in order to establish a complete study on this field in a large number of patients

The first general task I think is the choice of how to measure the elasticity.
Siemens Acuson S2000 in the ARFI measurement uses m/sec (velocity) such as in the liver.
But Hitachi uses kPa.
I think that the first poit consists in unifying the languages.

Im using hitachi but we can make also different groups in order to compare the results and make a unique score for the classification of the diffenrent thyroid disease and nodule

This definitely sounds like a trial worth pursuing. I am happy to put a call out to interested parties on our website so you can get the numbers to get meaningful results. Have you already got the methodology written so it can be clinically tested?

Recently I am using Toshiba Aplio XG with the capability of Elastosonography.
So, I can also join with all of you.

Hello, greetings from Mazatlán, México. I am using a Siemens Antares and would like to join.... What do I need to do?
