Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in determining the physical characteristics of the goiter. Ultrasound also aids in ultrasound guided FNAC.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in determining the characteristics of the goiter such as:
- In distinguishing solid nodules from cystic nodules
- In assessing whether more than one nodule exists
- In assessing the exact size and shape of the thyroid gland
- Microcalcifications
- Increased vascularity
- Nodal involvement
- Thyroid ultrasound aids in ultrasound guided FNAC
