Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and at ease. Here is a step-by-step guide to your thyroid & neck ultrasound at our Folsom location.
Scheduling Your Appointment
Call us or book online. Thyroid ultrasound appointments are typically available within 24 hours.
Preparing for Your Scan
No special preparation is required for a thyroid ultrasound. Simply wear a top with an open neckline or a shirt that can be easily pulled down to expose the neck area. Remove any necklaces or scarves before the exam.
During the Scan
You will lie on your back with a small pillow under your shoulders to gently extend your neck. Warm gel is applied to the front of your neck, and a transducer is used to image the thyroid gland, surrounding lymph nodes, and other structures. The exam is completely painless and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Receiving Your Results
A board-certified radiologist reviews the images using standardized TI-RADS criteria and sends a detailed report to your referring physician within 24 hours.
Follow-Up Care
Your endocrinologist, surgeon, or primary care provider will discuss the results with you and determine the next steps — which may include monitoring, repeat imaging, or a fine-needle aspiration biopsy if indicated.
