USG Thyroid (ultrasound) is non-invasive radiological tool which uses sound waves for the detection of abnormalities in the thyroid gland. USG Thyroid allows the sound waves to pass through the thyroid gland and help to visualize the abnormalities of the thyroid gland. The procedure can be used as routine checkup to detect various conditions like lumps, cancers, tissue damage or infection in the Thyroid. Thyroid ultrasound can be done with and without the contrast material based on the need and suggestion by healthcare expert.
What is Thyroid Ultrasound?
Thyroid Ultrasound (USG) is the non invasive diagnostic technique which uses sound waves for the detection of abnormalities in the Thyroid and surrounding tissues. USG Thyroid is diagnostic tool like CT, MRI and PET and this procedure helps to capture images of the Thyroids and surrounding structures by using a transducer which emits sound waves. These sound waves bounce back after striking the thyroid gland and tissues to create the images on the computer screen attached.
What is Thyroid Ultrasound with contrast (CEUS Thyroid)?
Thyroid USG with contrast also called contrast enhanced USG (CEUS) is the advanced procedure of the simple USG Thyroid. In contrast Thyroid ultrasound, an intravenous contrast material usually microbubbles is used to enhance the visualization of Thyroid abnormalities, blood flow abnormalities of Thyroid and tumors etc. This helps in easy and early detection of abnormalities for effective treatment of Thyroid abnormalities.
What does Thyroid Ultrasound Show?
There are various conditions which can be shown by Thyroid ultrasound and these include:
- To look for blood vessels in Thyroid
- To look for Thyroid tumors

- To evaluate pain of the Thyroids
- To look for the symmetry of the Thyroids
Which tests are used to check for the Thyroid abnormalities?
There are various types of tests used to check for Thyroid abnormalities and these include:
- MRI Thyroid (Book Now)
- Thyroid Ultrasound (Book Now)
Conclusion
Thyroid ultrasound (USG) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of abnormalities in the Thyroid and surrounding structures. There are various uses of USG Thyroid like detection of tumor, shape and size of Thyroid, symmetry of Thyroid etc. The procedure uses sound waves, produced by transducer attached with computer which creates the pictures of Thyroid and surrounding structures. USG Thyroid is also done with and without the use contrast material, this is also called CEUS Thyroid or contrast enhanced ultrasound.
