Thyroid Ultrasound Examination (Echography)

Thyroid ultrasound examination – is a safe, non-invasive, and highly accurate imaging test that allows the assessment of the thyroid's size, structure, and potential changes.

During the examination, ultrasound evaluates:

• the shape, size, and volume of the thyroid,
• tissue structure and uniformity,
• nodules, cysts, or other lesions,
• blood circulation (if needed),
• neck area structures related to the thyroid.

This test is particularly important for hormonal changes, palpable nodules, neck discomfort, swallowing disorders, voice changes, or as a preventive measure to detect structural changes early. Thyroid echography is also used for dynamic monitoring, assessing the course of already known changes.

What is important to know?

• The test is painless and safe, no ionizing radiation is used.
• No special preparation is needed.
• Duration – about 10–20 minutes.
• The results are discussed immediately, providing clear conclusions and, if needed, further recommendations.

The examination is intended for those who wish to clearly understand the condition of their thyroid, detect changes in time, and make informed health decisions.
