Thyroid ultrasound is simple and easy to perform, and can make preliminary judgment on the nature of thyroid nodules, mainly through the description of the size of the thyroid gland, morphology, blood supply, internal texture, calcification and so on to make a preliminary judgment on whether the nodules are benign or malignant, tiny calcified foci, solid nodules, rich blood supply, irregular nodules, lymph node abnormality suggests that malignant may be.
1. Thyroid nodules have tiny calcification foci, which mainly show diffuse distribution or pinpoint-like clusters of calcification.
2. The nodules are hypoechoic and solid.
3. The blood supply in the nodule is abundant with normal TSH.
4. The margins and shape of the nodule are irregular.
5. Thyroid nodules are accompanied by abnormalities of the lymph nodes in the neck.
However, thyroid ultrasound alone can only determine the nature of the nodule initially, if necessary, puncture biopsy is needed to determine the nature of the nodule through pathology and guide the next step of treatment. If you have thyroid nodules, it is recommended that you consult an endocrinologist for standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician.
