USG THYROID

Ultrasound is a method of obtaining images from inside the human body through the use of high frequency sound waves. The reflected sound wave echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No radiation is involved in ultrasound imaging. USG-Thyroid refers to the specialized use of sound waves to visualize the thyroid gland within the neck. It is used to detect lumps, cysts, and nodules within the thyroid gland. It also helps in evaluating the function of the thyroid gland. It is usually ordered after an abnormal thyroid function test.

The USG Thyroid test price in Delhi generally ranges between ₹1700 and ₹3400, depending on the location and reputation of the diagnostic centre. Test reports are usually available on the same day or within 24-48 hours.

USG Thyroid Test Procedure

The USG Thyroid test procedure is quick and simple:

1. The patient is instructed to lie on his back (supine position) on the examination table. A small pillow or support is placed beneath the shoulders to extend the neck rearward.
2. The neck is exposed for thorough inspection. A transparent, water-based gel is spread over the neck to facilitate sound wave transmission.
3. A handheld device known as a transducer (probe) is softly pushed across the thyroid area. The transducer transmits ultrasonic waves that produce real-time visuals on a monitor.
4. The probe can be moved in various directions to obtain several perspectives.
5. The patient may be advised to swallow or hold their breath briefly for improved imaging.
6. The process is painless and noninvasive.
