This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing a new ultrasound machine called the Sound Blade Imaging System to see how well it can image thyroid nodules. If you have a thyroid nodule that doctors are already watching with regular ultrasounds, you would receive one additional ultrasound using this new machine to help researchers understand how it works compared to standard ultrasound.
Doctors need better ways to image thyroid nodules clearly and accurately to help tell which ones are harmless and which ones might need treatment. This new machine uses advanced ultrasound technology and artificial intelligence to potentially improve how thyroid nodules are seen and evaluated.

You would come in for a visit when you are already scheduled for your routine thyroid ultrasound. During this visit, you would receive a second ultrasound using the new Sound Blade machine in addition to your standard ultrasound. The scan takes about 15 minutes and involves lying on your back while the ultrasound probe is gently moved over your neck — similar to a regular thyroid ultrasound, just with a different machine.
