\nAt the endocrinology office of Alexander Lurie, MD, in Miami Beach, Florida, Dr. Lurie uses state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging to help diagnose thyroid problems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/alexander-lurie-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/2021\/07\/thyroid-ultrasound-content-img.jpg\" "\\"thyroid-ultrasound-content-img\\"")
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Thyroid ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the thyroid gland, typically to evaluate lumps or nodules found during a routine physical. This is a safe and painless way to visualize the thyroid gland in order to:<\/p>\n
\n- Analyze the appearance of a thyroid nodule to determine if it\u2019s benign or requires a biopsy<\/li>\n
- Search for additional nodules<\/li>\n
- Evaluate whether a nodule has grown over time<\/li>\n
- Check nearby lymph nodes; if enlarged, this could indicate the spread of thyroid cancer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Unlike X-rays, ultrasound examinations do not expose patients to ionizing radiation. Also, because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, ultrasound is used to guide procedures such as fine needle aspiration, in which a sample of cells from a nodule is extracted for laboratory testing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
