CT scan
- CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis and fully characterizing the extent of substernal or nonpalpable goitre.
- Findings on CT scan suggestive of multinodular goiter include enlarged and heterogeneous thyroid gland.
- CT scan is useful in defining the extent of tracheal deviation and compression.
- CT scan–guided Fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) may be helpful in diagnosis of multinodular goiter.
