An adult thyroid ultrasound scan is a safe, painless, and non-invasive test that uses sound waves to examine the thyroid gland in the neck. It helps assess the size, shape, and structure of the thyroid and detect any abnormalities such as nodules, cysts, inflammation, or enlargement.
This scan is commonly recommended if you have:
A lump or swelling in the thyroid. Symptoms of overactive or underactive thyroid. Abnormal thyroid blood test results, difficulty swallowing or a feeling of pressure in the neck. Monitoring of known thyroid nodules or conditions such as Thyroid disease
No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the scan. Wear a loose or open-neck top for easy access to the neck area. Avoid wearing high-necked that may interfere with the scan
