Ultrasound Scan Test for Thyroid
Thyroid ultrasound uses sound waves to produce thyroid gland pictures within the neck. It does not use ionizing radiation and is commonly used to evaluate lumps or nodules found during a routine physical or another imaging exam.
During pregnancy, your doctor will often use ultrasound to create images of a fetus. This procedure requires little to no special preparation. Remove your jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to wear a gown.
A thyroid ultrasound is used to examine for abnormalities in the thyroid, such as:
- Cysts
- Nodules
- Tumors
Uses for a thyroid ultrasound
If a thyroid function test is abnormal or your doctor feels a growth on your thyroid when examining your neck, a thyroid ultrasound may be prescribed. An ultrasound can also detect if the thyroid gland is underactive or hyperactive.
A thyroid ultrasound may be performed as part of a general physical examination. Ultrasounds can produce high-resolution images of your organs, allowing your doctor to better understand your overall health. If your doctor notices any unusual swelling, discomfort, or infections, they may order an ultrasound to rule out any underlying illnesses that may be causing these symptoms.
Ultrasounds may be performed if your doctor needs to take a sample of your thyroid or surrounding tissues to screen for any existing abnormalities.

- With ultrasonography, it is possible to perform both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It is a safe and painless diagnostic test.
Some alternative names for ultrasound are Sonography, ultrasonography, pregnant sonography, fetal ultrasound, and diagnostic medical sonography.
