An ultrasound of the thyroid gland can detect congenital abnormalities in the position of the thyroid gland, poor development of the thyroid gland, signs of inflammation of the thyroid gland or the presence of nodules. The thyroid ultrasound complements the diagnosis of hormonal disorders in children, e.g. hypothyroidism.

The ultrasound examination is based on the emission of ultrasound waves, the operation of which is safe for the child's body. Ultrasound examination can be performed even in newborns and infants. The thyroid ultrasound can be repeated at will, which makes it possible to regularly check the condition of the child's thyroid gland.
