The thyroid gland is an agency that has many diseases and seriously affects health especially females. Thyroid ultrasound is now one of the most common visits in the health status monitoring general examination program.

1. What is thyroid ultrasound?

The thyroid gland is the most important and largest endococular gland in the body located in front of the neck shaped like a butterfly, has 2 right and left lobes, secretes the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), receives the harmonious influence of the hormone TSH from the dorseas glands on the brain as well as T4/T3 has the function of regulates many transformations in the body.

Ultrasound of the thyroid gland is an ultrasound examination method that examines the thyroid structure to survey the thyroid gland normally as well as detect lesions in the thyroid gland, and to survey the damage to the thyroid gland and related lymph node groups if any.

Ultrasonic thyroid tissue elasticity is an ultrasound technique that assesses tissue hardness through tissue elasticity when under the action of mechanical forces, a new method in early diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Pathology tissues with the same negative feedback, on ultrasound images B mode difficult to distinguish benign or malignant properties, Doppler ultrasound can further support the diagnosis, melanoma often increases blood vessels much, so ultrasound of thyroid tissue elasticity will help to add more information about the properties of the damaged tissue to increase the possibility of diagnosis.

2. Ultrasound of the thyroid gland is in dinh

Screening for people at high risk of thyroid cancer such as a history of external radiotherapy in children, a family history of myeloid thyroid cancer, a personal or family history of the disease or multiple family polyps, a 2-fold increase in calcitonine concentration, and evaluation of crustacea lesions when clinically detected including all cases with clinical signs thyroid disease: Thyroiditis, dysfunction, abnormal lymph nodes of the neck area. Periodically monitor for lesions in the thyroid gland, after thyroid surgery. Positioning interventions to diagnose and treat thyroid damage (small needle cell pokes, follicle punctures …).

According to Dr. Ngoc, this part structure is as follows:

– Detection of lonely dysthyroidism, polypthyroidism, thyroiditis, thyroid dysfunction (thyroid attack, thyroid failure) during thyroid examination; periodically monitor the above-mentioned thyroid lesions.

– Suspected thyroid 6th line in the thyroid gland

– History of neck radiotherapy

– Family history: thyroid myeloma, type 2 multiple endopilloma (a genetic condition that combines 3 types of cancer including thyroid myeloma, mythopytic cancer and adrenthic myeloma) or thyroid papillae cell cancer

– Appearance of the cervical lymph nodes of unknown cause

– Before thyroidecting surgery due to thyroid cancer, small needle cell poking – thyroid FNA; long-term follow-up after thyroidecting

3. Thyroid ultrasound engineering process

First, the patient lies on his back, lowers his knees under his shoulders and raises his head high, his back, his hands down to reveal the area where thyroid ultrasound is required. Take off your jewelry if you have one.

The ultrasound doctor moves the probe at a moderate speed, with continuous slices and scans along the cross-sectional plane, cutting along the thyroid axis to survey all two lobes, the armor waist and neighboring ganglia.

When the doctor detects a widespread lesion image, determines the length, width, thickness of the thyroid gland and the thickness of the thyroid waist, the negative structure compares with the neighboring muscle group and uses color doppler and energy doppler to assess vascular growth.

Abnormalities in the thyroid area

When detecting local lesions, different slices should be made to determine: Location, number of lesions and then diagram damage, shape, lesion shoreline, measure size in 3 dimensions, at least measure the large rear and left horizontal axis with a description of the lesion drive structure such as sound gain , m reduction, homitation, calcification in the lesion as well as lesion area characteristics including sound drums, wallization in lesions, sound reduction, homitation, increase in sound or calcification in the lesion. Determine the group of damaged cervical lymph nodes if any. Color spectrum Color Doppler and Energy Doppler to assess central vascular or mixed central and peripheral aerity. Lesions should exclude thyroid melanoma when the nodules are >2cm in size or size <2cm trên người có nguy cơ cao hoặc xuất hiện dấu hiệu trên lâm sàng, nang giáp chiếm trên 25% là tổ chức. The lesion of armor has at least 2 signs such as thick and negative nodules, scattered small calcifications, banks and unknown limits, the form of blocks of height greater than width, mixed circuitry.

When a coordinated lesion node is detected, it is necessary to determine the location of the diagram, size, graph and structure of the ganglion

4. Benefits of Thyroid Ultrasound

Needle biosy and suction under the help of ultrasound

Thyroid ultrasound is a technique that does not use needles, is painless, easy to apply and less expensive than other methods. Ultrasound gives a real, clear image of soft, safe tissue, free of ionizing radiation, which is also a good tool to guide minimally invasive procedures such as needle biopics and suction poking.

The thyroid gland is in an easy-to-see location and some diseases can be detected with the naked eye. An ultrasound of the thyroid gland should be performed during a general medical examination and is prescribed when the doctor has a clinical examination of the neck area suspected of having a tumor in the neck, goiter (goiter), a mass in the medias center, or a normal clinical examination but suspected thyroid disease through tests.

The thyroid gland has many important functions and thyroid ultrasound is carried out easily, quickly, for accurate results. It is recommended to check and monitor periodically to detect the medical condition and timely remedy, ensuring the health of yourself and your family.
