thyroid in radiology

Yes, they will give you the report but in the hospitals in my area, the MRI CD comes from radiology and you have to make a separate request to Medical Records to request the report.

The left lobe is heterogeneous and demonstrates multiple areas of nodularity, the largest measuring 1.5x0.9x1.3 cm in the middle third. Left thyroid lobe measures 3.9x2.5x2.6cm. The isthmus is enlarged at 1.2 cm. Isoechoic nodule appreciated in the inferior isthmus measuring 1.7x1.3x2.2cm.

There are severe emphysematous changes in both lungs more pronounced in right uper lobe. There is a 4 mm nodule in the periphery of the left upper lobe (Se5:lm204) that was not indentified on previous CT from 26/06/2012. The previously noted 10mm nodule in the lingula is no longer visualised. There are dependent changes in the right lung base. There are multiple low attenuation lesions within the liver that do not demonstrate significant change compared to the previous study dated 14/12/15.

If I remember correctly, they do put something on the area for numbing. It doesn't hurt and is over fairly quickly.Mine was done at outpatients after my office visit with my Endo.

No evidence of recurrence of disease in the region of thyroid bed. Chain of right Side enlarged cervical lymph nodes noted, the largest one measuring approx. . . .08 cm in short axis, no definite collection identified) while exact words or NM I-131 W.B.S conclusion. Whole Body I-131 (diagnostic scan) revealed evidence of residual (Left over) disease over thyroid bed & cervical nodes (predominantly (Largely) on the right side).

I have nodules in goiters on my thyroid. I have hyperthyroidism but only require 25mcg of Levothroid daily. My throat feels full as if there is some type of pressure. Should I have a biopsy of the nodules if my father died of medullary thyroid cancer? My doctor said there was no need for a biopsy.

7 cm located in the right upper and mid lobe. The entire thyroid is enlarged and hypervascular. Several 1cm lymph nodes are seen on the left side. Can you help understand the results?

I just received my Radiology report and the results were Enlarged heterogeneous gland. Right lobe measures 5.3 x 1.7x1.6 cm without focal nodularity. Left lobe measures 5.7 x 1.9 x 2.1 cm with a complex nodule in the lower pole measuring 5 x6 mm . The isthmus is unremarkable measuring 6.2 mm.

my gyne said i had an enlarged thyroid and sent me for ultrasound, and pcp is testing my thyroid through blood (no results just yet) anmyway- the sonogram came back with lots of stuff wriiten on it, nodules that were exophatic, bolobed and HETEROGENEOUS amoung other things...and radiology report said a needle aspiration should be done BUT my PCP is sending me for this i123 scan instead/first? does this scan test for cancer?

This is quite a large thyroid with multiple nodules. This may be due to longstanding hashimoto's but likely biopsy will be needed and given the size, possible surgery. Would see an endocrinologist and/or ENT who specializes in thyroid. Also test thyroid function to make sure the symptoms are not due to thyroid levels being abnormal.

by Manfred ****, M.D.Professor of Medicine and Radiology, Director Thyroid Unit, New York University School of Medicine.... "Each lobe has a smooth globular-shaped contour and is no more than 3 – 4 centimeters in height, 1 – 1.5 cm in width, and 1 centimeter in depth. The isthmus is identified, anterior to the trachea as a uniform structure that is approximately 0.5 cm in height and 2 – 3 mm in depth. Measurement are the height, width, depth of each lobe.

FRee T4 is a thyroid hormone. A complete thyroid panel should include TSH, Free T4 and Free T3. If anything shows up abnormal then you followup with antibody testing for thyroid autoimmune diseases. There is not timeframe or ryme or reason for thyroid issues.

From there, some can do the fine needle aspiration in their office, or they refer to radiology for it to be done there. If possible, try to find an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems. Here's a site that can help you find one http://www.thyca.org/specialist.htm Good luck!

I am doing my research on radiology and image in healthcare. There is much information on the internet but I need real experienced from you all, please share with me?

Fluid-filled cavities or cysts in the thyroid most commonly result from degenerating thyroid adenomas. Cysts are usually benign, but they occasionally contain malignant solid components. It is suggested to discuss your concerns with your attending doctor. He may suggest the appropriate treatment plan for your condition. Hope it helps. Take care and regards!

I am concerned that fraud is being committed in all my radiology reports to conceal damage. I saw an obvious pattern of concealment going on in the results. An example is the new findings on my x-rays are being deemed as incidental finding from previous exams..No truth to it.I have an older x-ray radiology report. I had a full body bone scan done and the results came back as only showing uptake by my tooth area only.

7 in length transverse dimension respectively with mild heterogeneous echogenicity about the thyroid gland suggestive of multinodular goiter. There is a hypoechoic area within the mid portion of left lobe measuring 2.3 cm in greatest dimension. Nuclear scan recommended." I took the results to my General Surgeon, who had previously treated me for an ulcer .... he said to see a thyroid specialist. I have an Endo appt. on Feb 4. I guess my question is : What does all of this mean?

So according to my bloodwork my TSH is 1.4(normal), and according to my thyroid nuclear scan/RAI Uptake I have an overactive thyroid (37.4%). This is what i dont understand...I am the opposite of hyper. I have NO energy, i have been so lethargic and tired my entire life, and still am. I am always spacy and cant focus and i could sleep all day long. Is there some type of adrenal or hormonal irregularity this could be? I have always been sluggish, tired, unmotivated & now its worse than ever..

I just got the results for my 3rd biopsy in a thyroid nodule. I am wondering if anyone else has had 3 biopsies with no results. My radiologist is excellent and head of radiology at a prestigious Boston hospital. There just seems to be not enough cells. I am sure my endo will want it removed at this point. I am wondering if anyone has had 3 failed biopsies or more and has decided not to have surgery. The nodule is 1.6 cm contains rare follicular cells.... Any help much appreciated!

Hi friend, I called radiology dept, spoke with radiologist about my results. You can also post question up at the thyroid expert section. Good luck.

I have been having symptoms of tiredness and feeling the cold for about 2 years now and have have had my thyroid tested many times but it has always come back "slap bang in the middle" I'm not sure of the actual levels but my GP says they are "normal" My GP also says that I fit in with the symptoms of an underactive thyroid but as my results come back ok they cannot do anything and keep drawing blanks and have just told me to return if I get any more symptoms.

Did you have a cat scan of thyroid? That would show if it is wrapped around your wind pipe.
