Thyroid Ultrasound

What Is Ultrasound For Thyroid?
Thyroid ultrasonography is a type of ultrasound that employs sound waves to create images of the thyroid gland in the neck—typically used to look for any lumps or nodules near the neck.

Why Is It Done?
Typically, thyroid ultrasound is used:

• To see if a lump in the neck is caused by the thyroid or another structure in the neck 
• To check for further nodules in patients who have one or more nodules on physical examination
• To see whether the thyroid nodule has expanded significantly over time

What Is The Procedure For USG Thyroid
You must lie face-up on a tilting or moveable test table. A pillow can be positioned behind the shoulders to extend the region scanned for a thyroid ultrasound test.

How Does One Prepare For This Test?
Leave any jewelry at home because this involves thorough examination of the neck section. You may be asked to put on a hospital gown.

Aftercare
Although this test is entirely risk-free and has no adverse effects, post-test care should include the healthy diet prescribed by the doctor, and you can resume your daily activities.
