A thyroid ultrasound shows both lobes of the thyroid and the neck tissue around it, measuring any nodule and describing its features. At The Wellness in Marylebone it costs from £445, as thyroid ultrasound, with a report within 48 hours, often the same day and a doctor to explain the result.
A thyroid ultrasound shows both lobes of the thyroid and the neck tissue around it, measuring any nodule and describing its features. The combined scan adds the lymph nodes of the neck.
It is used for a lump or swelling in the neck, a nodule found by chance on another scan, or an abnormal thyroid blood test with a change in the gland.
Most thyroid nodules are benign. The scan decides which ones need a needle sample and which only need watching.
No preparation is needed. Wear a top that leaves the neck clear.
A blood test usually helps. The thyroid function test shows how the gland is working, and the scan shows its structure.
About 20 minutes.
