THYROID ULTRASOUND IN LVIV

The thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism. When it functions properly, the heart, reproductive system, and brain work without deviations, and muscles and bones develop normally. To assess the condition of the thyroid gland and identify possible pathologies, it is recommended to undergo periodic ultrasound examinations.

If you need a thyroid ultrasound, Lviv, or more specifically the Korona Clinic in Lviv, is an excellent choice. We perform this informative procedure efficiently, obtaining maximum information about the condition of your thyroid gland. During the ultrasound, we treat each patient with care, ensuring their psychological comfort.

Thyroid ultrasound is indicated for patients who have:

• Constant weakness, drowsiness, and rapid fatigue
• Irritability and sharp mood swings
• Heart disorders
• Hand tremors
• Increased or decreased sweating
• Hair loss
• Sharp fluctuations in body weight
• Persistent temperatures of 37–38 degrees Celsius

Thyroid Ultrasound Procedure in Lviv at the Korona Clinic

The Korona Medical Center provides thyroid ultrasound using high-resolution equipment. Our experienced ultrasound doctors can clearly see the structure of the thyroid gland and detect even minor changes.

If the patient has thyroid diseases, the doctor may recommend additional tests, hardware examinations, or consultations with related specialists.

Preparation for Thyroid Ultrasound

No special preparation is required for a thyroid ultrasound. If you have had this examination before, bring any previous results with you. It is recommended not to eat for about 2 hours before the procedure to reduce the chance of a gag reflex when the sensor is applied. Wear clothing that leaves your neck accessible—tight collars or turtlenecks are not suitable. For children, bringing a small toy or comfort item can help make the experience easier.

How the Procedure Is Performed

A thyroid ultrasound usually takes 15–20 minutes. An additional 10 minutes may be needed to prepare the written report. During the procedure, the patient lies on the examination couch and gently tilts their head back. A special gel is applied to the neck to improve contact and facilitate smooth movement of the sensor. The doctor moves the sensor along the neck. The sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which reflect off the thyroid gland and are captured by the same sensor. The computer processes this information and displays detailed images on the screen.

What Is Assessed During a Thyroid Ultrasound

During the procedure, the doctor evaluates:

• The shape and size of the lobes and the isthmus. Normally, the lobes are symmetrical, and the shape is standard.
• The volume of the gland. For women, normal volume is less than 18 ml; for men, less than 25 ml. For children, volume depends on age, height, and gender.
• The condition and contours of the gland. Normally, contours are clear and even, and the position is standard.
• The structure of gland tissues, including echogenicity and uniformity. Normally, tissues are uniform, density is standard, no nodes or cysts are present, and lymph nodes are not enlarged.

A description of the parathyroid glands and lymph nodes associated with the thyroid gland is made. The doctor also describes the images obtained.
