Overview
Neck ultrasound may be performed to detect anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Key Echocardiography/Ultrasound Findings in Anaplastic thyroid cancer
- Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to make images of structures in the body. Ultrasound can be used to:
- Detect whether a lump is solid or cystic (filled with fluid)
- Detect multiple thyroid nodules when only one can be felt
- Monitor a suspicious nodule
- Guide a biopsy needle into a thyroid nodule[1]
