A Thyroid and Neck Ultrasound is a safe, painless, and non-invasive imaging procedure used to examine the thyroid gland, lymph nodes, and other neck structures. It helps identify abnormalities, such as nodules, cysts, and signs of inflammation or enlargement.

What Does the Thyroid and Neck Ultrasound Evaluate?

• Thyroid Gland – Assesses the size, shape, and structure of the thyroid to detect:

  • Thyroid nodules (benign or malignant)
  • Cysts or unusual growths
  • Thyroid enlargement (goiter)
  • Inflammation (thyroiditis)

• Lymph Nodes – Checks for swollen or irregular lymph nodes, which could indicate infection, inflammation, or other conditions.

• Parathyroid Glands – Identifies any enlarged or abnormal parathyroid glands, which could be related to calcium imbalances.

• Salivary Glands – Detects stones, cysts, or infections affecting the salivary glands.

Who Should Consider a Thyroid and Neck Ultrasound?

This scan is recommended for individuals experiencing:

• Swelling or lumps in the thyroid
• Unexplained hoarseness or difficulty swallowing
• Unexplained weight changes or fatigue
• A family history of thyroid disorders
• Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
• Abnormal thyroid function test results
