Ultrasound Examination of the Thyroid Gland and Soft Tissues of the Neck
Ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland and soft tissues of the neck is a painless and non-invasive diagnostic method used for a thorough assessment of the condition of the thyroid gland and surrounding tissues.
This examination is recommended in various situations, including hereditary predisposition to thyroid disease, the presence of enlargement or nodules in the neck area, inflammation, as well as control examinations after operations or in cases of other diseases related to the thyroid gland, such as cardiac, hematological diseases, osteoporosis, and others.
Ultrasound provides a clear visualization of the tissue structure of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands and neck lymph nodes.
During the examination, the size, shape, and structure of the examined organs are evaluated, enabling the identification of possible enlargements, nodes, or other changes.
The examination itself lasts between 10 and 20 minutes, and the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
After the examination, the patient receives detailed explanations from the professional staff, and a written report with the results is also delivered to him.
In the case of normal findings, a regular annual examination is recommended in order to timely identify any changes.
In case of a pathological finding, a repeat examination is recommended in a month or in certain cases, after several months.
This approach allows for continuous monitoring of the health of the thyroid gland and a quick response in case of need for additional tests or treatment.
