A thyroid ultrasound uses sound waves to examine the thyroid gland. This painless service is performed at our Scottsdale, Arizona facility daily. This ultrasound can be used to diagnose medical conditions that affect the thyroid gland such as:
Grave's Disease
Hashimoto's Disease
Goiter
thyroid cancer
thyroid nodules
The thyroid is a gland in the front of the throat. It controls metabolism and regulates hormones.
The thyroid produces three hormones:
Thyroxine or T4
Calcitonin
Triiodothyronine or T3
These hormones dictate your energy levels, growth, heart rate, weight, body temperature, and how heavily you breathe.
With all these roles the thyroid plays, it is best to check your thyroid gland with a thyroid ultrasound.
