How it Works

A thyroid scan may involve ultrasound imaging or a small dose of radioactive iodine to track thyroid activity and detect nodules or inflammation.

How We Do It

We offer thyroid ultrasound in-clinic and refer for nuclear medicine scans if required.

Results are typically available within 24–72 hours, with treatment plans adjusted as needed.

Is it painful?

To investigate lumps, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or nodules.

Do I need to fast?

Sometimes. We’ll give you clear prep instructions.

Usually within 2–3 days.
