Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common patient questions before booking your appointment at Dr Ultrasound Centre.
What is a thyroid ultrasound in Sri Petaling used for?+
A thyroid ultrasound provides structural imaging information about the thyroid gland and selected neck concerns. It may assist assessment of thyroid enlargement, nodules or palpable findings when clinically appropriate.
Is thyroid ultrasound safe?+
Yes. Thyroid ultrasound uses sound waves and does not use ionizing radiation. It is commonly used to support assessment of thyroid and selected neck-related concerns.
Do I need to fast before a thyroid ultrasound?+
Fasting is usually not required for thyroid ultrasound. Wear clothing that allows easy access to the neck area, and bring previous ultrasound or blood test results if available.
Can thyroid ultrasound detect thyroid nodules?+
Thyroid ultrasound may identify and describe thyroid nodules, including their size and imaging appearance. The significance of a nodule should be interpreted with symptoms, blood tests and professional medical advice.
Do I need a thyroid blood test as well?+
A thyroid blood test may be useful alongside ultrasound because ultrasound shows structure while blood tests provide functional information. The need depends on your symptoms and medical context.
Can thyroid ultrasound confirm thyroid cancer?+
No. Ultrasound can identify features that may require further review, but it cannot confirm thyroid cancer by itself. Further specialist assessment or biopsy may be advised where appropriate.
How often should a thyroid nodule be monitored?+
Follow-up timing depends on nodule size, ultrasound appearance, symptoms and medical advice. Some nodules may need repeat ultrasound monitoring, while others may need further assessment.
How long does a thyroid ultrasound appointment take?+
The scan is usually focused and straightforward, but timing can vary depending on findings and whether surrounding neck structures need review. The team can advise during booking.
Will thyroid ultrasound results be explained clearly?+
The report should support clinical understanding, and our team aims to keep the process patient-friendly. Findings may still need to be reviewed with your doctor for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
