Thyroid Ultrasound

Thyroid nodules are very common healthcare problem. Some thyroid nodules can become enormous, affecting patient's cosmesis and even compromising breathing and swallowing. Occasionally, they may harbour cancer.
Through simple and non-invasion screening with ultrasound scan, thyroid nodules can be assessed of their cancer risk, guiding further management. Further cytological examination can also be safely carried out on suspicious nodule for diagnosis.
For patients suffering from functional disturbance of thyroid (including abnormally high or low thyroid hormone level), ultrasound scan may also assist on diagnosis and treatment.
