Thyroid Function Tests

A thyroid function test commonly includes measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Depending on the situation, doctors may also evaluate free T4 and other thyroid-related markers.

Thyroid antibody tests may be recommended when an autoimmune thyroid disorder is suspected.

Thyroid Ultrasound

An ultrasound can provide detailed images of the thyroid gland and help identify nodules, cysts, enlargement, or other structural changes.

Prashanth Hospitals provides thyroid and neck ultrasound services as part of its diagnostic facilities.

Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy

If a thyroid nodule has characteristics that require further evaluation, a fine needle aspiration biopsy may be recommended. During this procedure, a small sample of cells is collected using a thin needle and examined in a laboratory.

This can help doctors determine whether a nodule requires additional treatment.
