Ultrasound Examination of a Child’s Thyroid Gland

The thyroid gland is a vital organ of the endocrine system that produces hormones responsible for regulating metabolic rate. Any dysfunction of the thyroid can lead to serious complications and health issues. Ultrasound (US) examination allows for a quick and safe diagnosis of structural abnormalities in this organ.

When Is a Thyroid Ultrasound Necessary?

Thyroid disorders often develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, certain signs may indicate the need for an ultrasound examination, including:

Sudden and unexplained weight changes
Difficulty swallowing
Fatigue, persistent drowsiness, apathy, or excessive hyperactivity and irritability
Swelling in the neck or a choking sensation
Irregular heartbeat
Unexplained fluctuations in body temperature
Reduced muscle tone
Digestive system disturbances

How Often and at What Age Should a Child Have a Thyroid Ultrasound?

Today, ultrasound is one of the safest and most effective diagnostic methods. It can be performed as often as necessary based on a doctor's recommendation. Thyroid ultrasound can be done for children as early as their first year of life.
