Overview

Neck ultrasound may be performed to detect medullary thyroid cancer. Presence of microcalcification and hypoechoic nodule are ultrasound features associated with increased thyroid cancer risk.

echocardiography/ultrasound

  • Neck ultrasound may be performed to detect medullary thyroid cancer.[1]
  • There is no specific sonographic features for the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer. However, some ultrasound features associated with thyroid cancer risk include:
