About Thyroid Ultrasound
Thyroid ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test performed by Dr. Sanjay Kumar Thakur using high-resolution ultrasound equipment at GyneNepal, Kathmandu. This test assesses thyroid gland size, structure, nodules, and blood flow. Essential for evaluating thyroid nodules, goiter, and guiding FNA biopsy. Dr. Sanjay's expertise from Royal Marsden Hospital ensures accurate nodule characterization using TI-RADS scoring system. Ultrasound detects nodules as small as 2-3mm, evaluates cancer risk features, and monitors nodule growth over time. Safe, painless, no radiation exposure. Real-time imaging allows immediate assessment. Color Doppler evaluates thyroid vascularity. Complete report with images provided same day.
