Includes Test 5 Parameters
USG Thyroid is an ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the neck. This test uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the thyroid tissue, helping doctors evaluate the gland’s size, shape, structure, and the presence of any nodules, cysts, or abnormalities.
Doctors recommend a thyroid ultrasound when there are symptoms such as a neck lump, thyroid enlargement, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight changes, voice changes, or suspected thyroid disorders. It is also done to monitor thyroid nodules, assess goitre, check for inflammation, and follow up on abnormal thyroid blood test results.
No special preparation is required. You may be asked to remove jewellery or clothing around the neck area before the scan. The ultrasound gel applied to the skin helps create clear images and is wiped off after the procedure.
The test is completely painless and uses sound waves instead of radiation, making it safe for all age groups, including children and pregnant women. Only mild pressure may be felt when the technician moves the probe over the thyroid area.
The procedure typically takes about ten to fifteen minutes. Most diagnostic centres provide the report within thirty minutes to one hour, depending on their reporting schedule.
