Overview
Ultrasound is indicated only when adenoma presents as a nonpalpable nodule. Ultrasonography is helpful when correlated with nuclear scans to determine the functionality of nodules. Dominant cold nodules should be considered for fine-needle aspiration biopsy prior to definitive treatment of a toxic nodular goiter.
