About this test

A USG thyroid is a safe, painless, radiation-free ultrasound that examines the size, structure, and blood flow of the thyroid gland.

It helps detect thyroid nodules, goiter, and thyroiditis, such as Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease. Nodules are assessed using the TI-RADS system, where features like microcalcifications, irregular margins, and a taller-than-wide shape suggest possible thyroid cancer.

It also checks nearby lymph nodes, guides FNAC (needle biopsy), and helps monitor nodules and patients after thyroid surgery.

Questions about this test

When should I get the USG Thyroid test?

You should get a USG thyroid if you have a neck swelling or lump, enlarged thyroid (goiter), difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or abnormal thyroid function tests. It is also recommended for a family history of thyroid cancer, past neck radiation, monitoring known thyroid nodules, and follow-up after thyroid surgery.

How should I prepare for the USG Thyroid test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for a USG thyroid. Wear a loose, open-neck top, and remove necklaces, chains, and earrings before the scan. Avoid applying creams or lotions to your neck. Continue your thyroid medicines as usual, and bring previous thyroid test results, scans, or biopsy reports.

Do I require fasting for the USG Thyroid test?

No, fasting is not required for a USG thyroid. You can eat and drink normally and continue your thyroid medicines before the scan. Wear an open-neck top, remove any necklaces or earrings, and avoid applying creams to your neck. The scan is painless and usually takes 15–20 minutes.
