New study to map normal thyroid size in italian newborns
NCT ID NCT07579988
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will use ultrasound to measure the thyroid gland in 400 healthy full-term newborns in Italy. The goal is to create a set of normal thyroid volume values, which currently do not exist for this population. These reference values can help doctors better diagnose thyroid problems and monitor iodine levels in the community.
