Overview
Neck ultrasound may be performed to detect medullary thyroid cancer. Presence of microcalcification and hypoechoic nodule are ultrasound features associated with increased thyroid cancer risk.
echocardiography/ultrasound
- Neck ultrasound may be performed to detect medullary thyroid cancer.[1]
- There is no specific sonographic features for the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer. However, some ultrasound features associated with thyroid cancer risk include:
- Hypoechoic nodules
- Presence of microcalcification
