Thyroid Scan
A thyroid ultrasound scan is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the structure and condition of the thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the neck, just below the Adam’s apple. This comprehensive scan is designed for both male and female patients over 18 years old.
If you experience symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, goitre, abnormal swelling in the neck, known nodules, neck discomfort, a palpable lump in the neck, or abnormal thyroid function blood test results, you should consider scheduling a thyroid ultrasound.
Your 20-minute appointment includes:
- A detailed report containing findings from the scan
- Email containing all images captured during the scan
This ensures you receive a comprehensive overview of the scan results along with visual documentation, conveniently accessible via email for you to share with your healthcare provider.
A thyroid ultrasound scan is an essential diagnostic tool for assessing thyroid health and informing treatment decisions. If any abnormalities are found, further tests or procedures, such as a fine-needle aspiration biopsy, may be recommended for a more comprehensive evaluation.
