Thyroid and Neck Ultrasound Scan – Comprehensive Imaging for Thyroid Health

A Thyroid and Neck Ultrasound is a safe, painless, and non-invasive imaging test used to examine the thyroid gland, lymph nodes, and other structures in the neck. It helps detect abnormalities, including nodules, cysts, and signs of inflammation or enlargement.

✅ Lymph Nodes – Checks for swollen or abnormal lymph nodes, which may indicate infection, inflammation, or other conditions.
