Description
Estimated cost for Thyroid Color Doppler Ultrasound at general public hospitals in China is about ¥15-40, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥20-50, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
The primary purposes and applicable scenarios for a thyroid color Doppler ultrasound include: 1. Evaluating thyroid size, structure, and blood flow, 2. Detecting and characterizing thyroid nodules or cysts, 3. Assessing the risk of thyroid cancer, 4. Monitoring the response to treatment for thyroid disorders, 5. Guiding fine-needle aspiration biopsy, 6. Diagnosing thyroiditis and other inflammatory conditions
Normal Range
For a thyroid color Doppler ultrasound, the normal range typically includes: Thyroid gland size (volume) within 10-20 mL for adults, homogeneous echotexture, no nodules or cysts, and normal vascularity. The specific values can vary slightly based on the individual's age, sex, and body size.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values or findings in a thyroid ultrasound, such as reduced thyroid volume, may be caused by: 1. Iodine deficiency, 2. Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease), 3. Post-surgical changes, 4. Radiation therapy, 5. Congenital hypothyroidism
High Values - Possible Causes
High values or abnormal findings in a thyroid ultrasound, such as increased thyroid volume or presence of nodules, may be caused by: 1. Hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease), 2. Multinodular goiter, 3. Thyroiditis, 4. Thyroid cancer, 5. Benign thyroid adenomas
