This method is widely used due to its speed, safety, painlessness, and the absence of any skin trauma. If you are looking to get a thyroid ultrasound in the Czech Republic, you can book an examination with us at Dobro Clinic.

How is a thyroid ultrasound performed?

The procedure is completely painless and takes no more than 15 minutes. The patient lies on their back, with a small cushion placed under the head to allow for a slight tilt backwards. The doctor then applies a special gel to the skin and gently moves the probe along the neck, obtaining images on the monitor and noting any abnormalities for the final report.

Which specialists perform this examination?

The procedure is carried out by an ultrasound specialist (sonographer) with expertise in the anatomy of the endocrine system. In some cases, the examination may be performed by an endocrinologist.
