Getting a thyroid ultrasound gives our Denver radiologist a closer look at the hormones being produced by the thyroid gland as well as the overall size of the gland.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thyroid Ultrasound

Our specialized <a href="/about/team" rel="noopener">Denver radiologists</a> use thyroid ultrasound to generate images of the thyroid gland to evaluate its health. A thyroid ultrasound will show any masses or subtle changes in the thyroid gland that could be associated with benign (non-cancerous) versus malignant (cancerous) nodules. Most nodules of the thyroid are benign.&nbsp;

Providing Thyroid Ultrasound in Colorado & Beyond

If you need an ultrasound of the thyroid, our specialists are here to help. We take a multidisciplinary approach to the assessment and diagnosis of thyroid conditions to ensure you get the best care.

Schedule a Thyroid Ultrasound

The thyroid is part of the endocrine system that affects the body's metabolism and growth. It is a small butterfly-shaped gland that lies in front of the trachea and is responsible for producing hormones to make many cells in your body function correctly. Its proper or improper function can affect our energy level, ability to sleep, muscle and digestive process, brain function, mood, ability to maintain a healthy heart rate, and optimal bone density.
Normal thyroid gland function is significant for women's health as its function or dysfunction may cause problems with fertility and pregnancy. A thyroid ultrasound uses sound waves to produce images and investigate potential issues. Your doctor may order a thyroid ultrasound if they notice physiologic changes, such as thyroid enlargement, redness of the neck, or growth palpated on examination. If you experience swelling or difficulty swallowing, that may also indicate the need for a thyroid ultrasound.

The Importance of Thyroid Health

At The Women’s Imaging Center, our technologists and physicians specialize in performing, detecting, and diagnosing all thyroid conditions and nodules. We perform comprehensive imaging of the whole woman, unlike other facilities who only do imaging of individual organs, and have decades of specialized training in all body organ systems and their interrelationships. At The Women’s Imaging Center, inter-related imaging examinations are performed and interpreted by the same specialty-trained technologists and radiologists.

Thyroid function may cause pain in the breast. Pregnancy-related issues may result from autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Graves Disease or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Only specialists who work within this comprehensive field will appreciate one organ system's relationship to another. We specialize in all these processes and work closely with other specialists such as endocrinologists or gynecologists in a multi-disciplinary fashion. 

Experience Our Difference

We look at the overall size of the thyroid gland, the texture, nearby neck lymph nodes, and whether there are any nodules.

Examination

We look at the thyroid vessels to gain information on the thyroid gland's health.

Assessment

Although most thyroid nodules appear benign (noncancerous), some have suspicious characteristics such as an irregular shape or suspicious calcifications requiring a thyroid needle biopsy.

Thyroid Ultrasound Near Me

Ultrasound of the thyroid uses a small hand-held transducer or wand that emits sound waves produced by special crystals sent to and from the transducer to the thyroid gland. Sound waves reflected back to the crystals in the transducer are displayed as X-ray images of the gland for a specialized radiologist to interpret. This process is also sometimes referred to as a sonogram of the thyroid.
Unlike almost all other radiology centers, a radiologist at The Women's Imaging Center directly oversees the procedure and personally examines you if there is a thyroid abnormality or concern. A thyroid ultrasound will include:
