Thyroid Ultrasound

Thyroid Ultrasound

Thyroid ultrasound gives a detailed look at the thyroid gland and any nodules within it, without radiation or injections.

When It Is Typically Used

• Thyroid Conditions — Imaging supports treatment of an underactive or overactive thyroid.
• Nodule Evaluation — Ultrasound characterizes a nodule found on exam or lab testing.
• Monitoring Over Time — Repeat imaging tracks whether a known nodule is changing.

Working Alongside Other On-Site Services

Thyroid imaging is usually paired with in-house lab work so hormone levels and gland appearance are reviewed together.

What to Expect

The scan takes only a few minutes. You lie back while a technologist moves a probe across the front of the neck.
