Accurate Assessment of Thyroid Gland & Nodules
£120
At Sonoscan Healthcare, we provide professional and reliable private thyroid ultrasound scans in Stockport and Manchester, helping to assess thyroid enlargement, nodules, and other gland abnormalities.A thyroid ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive scan used to examine the structure of the thyroid gland and surrounding tissues. It provides detailed imaging to support diagnosis and ongoing monitoring.
What Is a Thyroid Ultrasound?
A thyroid ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the thyroid gland, located at the front of your neck.The scan shows the size and texture of the gland and whether any nodules (lumps) or cysts are present. Nodules can be measured and their appearance described, which helps your GP or specialist decide whether any further tests or monitoring are needed. The scan is painless and uses no radiation.
When Might You Need a Thyroid Scan?
Your GP or specialist may recommend a thyroid ultrasound if you:
- Notice swelling at the front of your neck
- Have abnormal thyroid blood test results
- Feel a lump in the neck
- Experience difficulty swallowing
- Have a family history of thyroid disease
- Require monitoring of known thyroid nodules
What Happens During a Thyroid Ultrasound?
You lie on your back with your head tilted slightly back, and a small amount of gel is applied to the front of your neck. The sonographer moves a handheld probe gently over the thyroid to capture images from different angles. No special preparation is needed, and you can go straight back to your normal day afterwards.Private Thyroid Ultrasound in Stockport & Greater Manchester
