Thyroid and breast ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging method that helps examine glandular tissue in detail and detect nodules, cysts or suspicious lesions early. At Phuc Khang Clinic, this technique is performed in combination with elastography to improve accuracy.
What does thyroid ultrasound detect?
- Thyroid nodules, thyroid cysts and goiter.
- Assessment of size, density, margins and features suspicious for malignancy.
- Monitoring of thyroid nodules across follow-up visits.
- Support in guiding fine needle aspiration (FNA) when needed.
What does breast ultrasound detect?
- Examination of glandular tissue, ducts and solid or cystic lesions.
- Detection of breast nodules and abnormalities that require monitoring.
- Support for breast cancer screening in women with risk factors.
The role of elastography
Elastography assesses the stiffness of a lesion. Because malignant tissue is usually stiffer than healthy tissue, this information helps the doctor distinguish benign from malignant tumors, thereby reducing the chance of missing dangerous lesions.
Early screening for peace of mind
Breast cancer and thyroid cancer both have a better treatment prognosis when detected early. Periodic ultrasound screening is a simple, safe and effective way to protect your health.
