NCT ID NCT06207188

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new imaging method called vibro-acoustography (VA) to find and tell apart harmless and cancerous thyroid nodules. Researchers at Mayo Clinic will compare VA images to standard ultrasound in 650 people aged 8 and older who are at risk for thyroid cancer. The goal is to see if VA can accurately locate nodules and distinguish malignant from benign ones, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies.
