Ultrasound (US) is an imaging modality of choice for the thyroid gland and perithyroidal evaluation. The superficial location of the thyroid gland makes the US an ideal imaging modality not only for detailed anatomic assessment but also for procedures such as biopsies, aspirations, and ablations....
Ultrasound:This imaging test can be performed intravaginally (using a slender transducer—a wand-like instrument inserted into the vagina) or externally with a transducer applied to the abdomen to check on the pregnancy.
