What Does the Neck and Thyroid Scan Assess?
- Thyroid Health: The scan evaluates the thyroid for signs of enlargement, nodules, cysts, or other abnormalities, such as goitre, which can affect thyroid function and lead to various symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or changes in metabolism.
- Lymph Node Health: It looks at the lymph nodes in your neck, detecting any swelling or irregularities that could indicate infections, inflammation, or more serious conditions like cancer.
- Neck Structures: The scan also assesses the muscles, soft tissues, and blood vessels in the neck, identifying any unusual masses, cysts, or inflammation that may require further evaluation or treatment.
What to Expect During the Neck and Thyroid Scan?
- Quick and Painless Procedure: The Neck and Thyroid Scan is a fast, non-invasive procedure, typically taking around 15 -20 minutes to complete.
- Ultrasound Examination: During the scan, a small amount of gel is applied to your neck. The ultrasound probe is then gently moved over the area to capture high-quality images of the thyroid gland, lymph nodes, and surrounding tissues.
- Non-invasive and Comfortable: The scan is entirely pain-free and does not require needles or injections. You’ll remain fully clothed for the procedure, except for the area of the neck being examined.
