What Does a Thyroid Ultrasound Examine?

A thyroid ultrasound provides detailed images of the following:

• Thyroid Gland: The ultrasound examines the thyroid for nodules, cysts, or tumours. It helps determine whether these are solid or fluid-filled and whether they may require further evaluation or treatment.
• Size and Shape of the Thyroid: The scan assesses the overall size and shape of the thyroid gland to identify enlargement (goiter) or irregularities in its structure.
• Surrounding Lymph Nodes: The ultrasound can also evaluate the lymph nodes surrounding the thyroid to detect any signs of swelling or abnormality, which might indicate an infection or other health issues.
• Blood Flow: Doppler ultrasound technology may be used to assess the blood flow within the thyroid gland, which can help diagnose conditions such as thyroiditis or hyperthyroidism.
