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
