Ultrasounds are one of the most important diagnostic procedures that a doctor uses to assess the functions of the thyroid gland and diagnose the disorders and diseases that affect it. The Ultrasound is performed for patients who suffer from laziness or inactivity in the functions of the thyroid gland, or if they have pressure in the neck, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness of the voice, or there is a suspicion of tumors.
Ultrasound is a very important procedure which assists in the diagnosis and early detection of thyroid tumors, if they are present. Diagnosis usually requires a biopsy or sample of the tumor, and in most cases these tumors are benign.
