Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Metabolic-sonographic nodule allocation	1 year	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.
