DIAGNOSIS

Overview

When imaging detects a region of interest or suspicion, it can also be used to direct selective biopsies to obtain very small tissue samples for further laboratory analysis (pathology).   The use of imaging together with pathology gives the most accurate information about the size, location and aggressiveness of any cancer thus identified.

Thyroid Cancer

Tumors of the thyroid gland are common and difficult to diagnose by palpation. Sonography is the currently approved modality to find and follow suspicious nodules. Areas that have calcium deposits (visibility on sonogram means x-ray may be avoided) are most suspect and biopsy is often performed under ultrasound guidance. Additionally, parathyroid masses may be discovered that are a serious cause of bone loss in women and kidney stones in men. Spread to regional lymph nodes (gland) locally are detectable and can be accurately biopsied using the image guide on the probe.
