Thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound Ghervan CMed Ultrason 2011[Mar]; 13 (1): 80-4Thyroid ultrasound is easy to perform due to the superficial location of the thyroid gland, but appropriate equipment is mandatory with a linear high frequency transducer (7.5 - 12) MHz. Some pathological aspects of the thyroid gland are easily diagnosed by ultrasound, like the enlargement of the thyroid volume (goiter) or the presence of nodules and cysts; while other aspects are more difficult and need more experience (diffuse changes in the structure, echogenicity and vascularization of the parenchyma, differential diagnosis of malignant nodules). Ultrasound has become the diagnostic procedure of choice in guidelines for the management of thyroid nodules; most structural abnormalities of the thyroid need evaluation and monitoring but not intervention. A good knowledge of the normal appearance of the thyroid gland is compulsory for an accurate ultrasound diagnosis.|Humans[MESH]|Image Enhancement/*methods[MESH]|Parathyroid Diseases/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Parathyroid Glands/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Thyroid Diseases/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Thyroid Gland/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Ultrasonography/*methods[MESH] |
