Thyroid Ultrasound Sydney
Harbour Radiology provides an extensive range of high-quality bulk billed ultrasound imaging including Thyroid Ultrasounds. Ultrasounds for Thyroids use no radiation and instead utilise high-frequency sound waves to image the thyroid gland and its surrounding tissues.
Thyroid Ultrasounds are commonly used to evaluate thyroid nodules or lumps around the neck and cervical spine area. The scan does not require any invasive imaging as the ultrasound probe is run across the outside of the neck.
