What is Thyroid Ultrasound? Read the full explainer →

Thyroid Ultrasound

A thyroid ultrasound looks at the gland in the front of the neck and at the lumps that turn up in it. Thyroid nodules are common and almost always harmless; the scan's job is to measure them and describe their features, which is how doctors decide which few need a needle biopsy and which simply get watched.
