207 studies on the registry are indexed under Thyroid Nodule; 64 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 70 is below the median of 161 across 82 observational studies indexed under Thyroid Nodule.

Exclusion Criteria:
Nuclear Medicine physicians evaluate up to 34 cases of patients who have received regular thyroid diagnostics. Data and images of patient characteristics, laboratory results, ultrasonography loops and planar 99mTcO4 scintigraphy are provided and the physicians are asked to assign the function (hypo-, iso-, hyperfunctional) to predefined thyroid nodules visible on ultrasonography.
Nuclear Medicine physicians evaluate up to 34 cases of patients who have received regular thyroid diagnostics and additional I-124 PET/CT, followed by I-124 PET/US (administration of I-124 was not subject of this study). Data and images of patient characteristics, laboratory results, ultrasonography loops, planar 99mTcO4 scintigraphy as well as I-124 PET/US loops are provided and the physicians are asked to assign the function (hypo-, iso-, hyperfunctional) to predefined thyroid nodules visible on ultrasonography.
Other: Assessment of already preacquired I-124 PET/US
Assessment of preacquired I-124 PET/US by review of anonymous digital case files
Metabolic-sonographic nodule allocation
The number of correct assignments of metabolic function of each nodule will be assessed for each group seperately. A three-point scale will be used for evaluation of the nodule's function and the degree of the physicians certainty will be investigated using a four-point scale.

Started Apr 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2017, 3 months after the start.
Of 38 observational studies under Thyroid Nodule, half reached primary completion within 47 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 32. This study's planned 3 months is below that.
