What you need to know about thyroid ultrasound
Thyroid ultrasound is a study that helps to examine the general condition of the thyroid gland, assess its structure, size, and location, detect or, conversely, refute the presence of developmental abnormalities and functional abnormalities, and identify diseases at an early stage.
The health of the thyroid gland determines the normal functioning of the entire body: the brain, the reproductive system, metabolism. Malfunctioning of the gland can lead to serious problems. The state of the gland is affected by the environment, lack of iodine in the body, heredity, stress, intoxication, and injuries.
