Thyroid disease is a group of common Endocrine system diseases, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules and so on. In order to accurately diagnose these diseases, medical ultrasound scanners are widely used in the medical community. This article will introduce how to use medical ultrasonic scanner to diagnose Thyroid disease.

1、 Understand the principle and function of thyroid ultrasound scanning:

Thyroid ultrasound scanning utilizes the echogenic principle of ultrasound to obtain images of the thyroid gland. Medical ultrasound scanners generate images of the thyroid gland by emitting high-frequency ultrasound and receiving echoes, which can reflect the internal structure and position of the thyroid gland. Thyroid ultrasound scanning can help doctors detect abnormal conditions of the thyroid gland, including nodules, cysts, lumps, etc., and then diagnose diseases.

2、 Preparation work:

Before conducting ultrasonic scanning, relevant equipment and tools need to be prepared first. Medical ultrasonic scanner is indispensable, and disinfectant, ultrasonic gel, paper towel, etc. are also required.

3、 Patient preparation:

Before starting the ultrasound scan, the patient needs to remove all decorations from the neck and keep the neck muscles relaxed. At the same time, doctors also need to understand the patient's basic situation and inquire if there is a history of allergies and other diseases.

4、 Ultrasonic scanning operation:

1. Disinfection: Wipe the ultrasonic probe with a tissue soaked in disinfectant to ensure sterile operation.

2. gel application: Apply appropriate amount of ultrasonic gel on the ultrasonic probe, which can keep the probe in close contact with the patient's skin and enhance the transmission effect of sound waves.

3. Scanning operation: The doctor places an ultrasound probe on the patient's neck and scans various parts of the thyroid gland by moving the probe. The doctor can observe the image displayed on the screen, and judge whether there is Thyroid disease by comparing the difference between the structure of the healthy thyroid and the abnormal part.

4. Recording and evaluation: During the scanning process, doctors should promptly record key information such as the location, size, shape, etc. of nodules. After completing the scan, the doctor also needs to evaluate the scan results to determine whether further examination or treatment is needed.

5、 Precautions:

1. Operating skills: Doctors need to be familiar with the usage methods of ultrasound scanners and master operating skills to ensure the accuracy and safety of scanning.

2. High frequency ultrasound: Thyroid ultrasound scanning generally uses high-frequency ultrasound, so for some patients, such as pregnant women and children, it is necessary to pay attention to the frequency and power of ultrasound use to avoid unnecessary effects on them.

3. Combined with other examinations: thyroid ultrasound scanning is usually used as an auxiliary examination method for Thyroid disease. For complex cases, doctors also need to combine other examination results to make accurate diagnosis.

Medical ultrasonic scanner is a non-invasive, non radiation inspection method, and also an important means of diagnosing Thyroid disease. By understanding the principles and operating methods of thyroid ultrasound scanning, doctors can accurately detect abnormal thyroid conditions and provide strong evidence for patient treatment. However, when performing thyroid ultrasound scans, doctors need to pay attention to operational skills and precautions to ensure the accuracy of diagnosis and the safety of patients.
