What to Expect During Your Thyroid & Neck Ultrasound Appointment
Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and at ease. Here is a step-by-step guide to your thyroid & neck ultrasound at our Sacramento 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thyroid & Neck Ultrasound in Sacramento
A thyroid ultrasound uses sound waves to create structural images of the thyroid gland and is the primary tool for evaluating nodules. A thyroid scan (nuclear medicine) uses a small amount of radioactive iodine to assess thyroid function. Your doctor will determine which test is appropriate for your situation.
Your images are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, and a detailed report is sent to your referring physician within 24 hours. Your doctor will discuss the findings and any recommended next steps with you.
TI-RADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System) is a standardized scoring system used by radiologists to classify thyroid nodules based on their ultrasound appearance. The score helps determine whether a nodule should be monitored or biopsied — ensuring evidence-based, consistent decision-making.
A thyroid and neck ultrasound typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. We schedule adequate time for a thorough evaluation of the thyroid gland, lymph nodes, and surrounding structures.
Thyroid ultrasound can identify nodules with features that are suspicious for cancer — such as irregular margins, microcalcifications, and taller-than-wide shape. If a nodule scores high on TI-RADS, your physician may recommend a fine-needle aspiration biopsy for definitive diagnosis.
No special preparation is required. Simply wear clothing with an open neckline and remove any necklaces. There is no fasting needed, and the exam is completely painless.
