Thyroid ultrasound is a method of ultrasound exploration of the structure of the thyroid gland. It is painless, non-invasive, non-radiant, does not require anesthesia or prior patient preparation and is risk-free.

By examining thyroid ultrasound, the size, structure and vascularization of the thyroid parenchyma can be evaluated, and localized lesions (node, cysts) or diffuse changes at this level can be identified. In the case of the presence of thyroid nodules, it is possible to differentiate between the benign nodules and those that require further exposition by biopsy. Also, you can monitor the evolution of nodules: changing the number, dimensions or structure. Thyroid ultrasound also allows the detection of pathologically enlarged lymph nodes in the neck area.
