This study aimed to evaluate the early detection of thyroid disorders using
ultrasonography, this study was conducted at Bashair Hospital in the period
from June 2017 to October 2017, all volunteers had done ultrasound
examination in the ultrasound department, the machine used in the study was
Alpinion ultrasound machine Ecube 7 with linear probe frequency ranged
from 7.5MHZ to 12MHZ. All patients scanned in supine position technique.
The data was collected from 100 volunteers (male and female) they didn’t
have any sign and symptom of thyroid disorders. The collected data
includes: sex, age, weight, height, BMI, thyroid volume, normal and
abnormal thyroid gland, site of the lesion, and ultrasound characteristic of
the thyroid gland. The result of this study showed that the mean age, weight,
height, BMI, and volume of the volunteer were equal to (33.9±13.2 years),
(65.6±14.3 Kg), (165.9±7.8 cm), (23.9±4.6 kg/m2) and (9.7±2.7ml)
respectively. 80% of the cases were normal and the rest suffers from thyroid
nodules, colloid cyst and thyroiditis; colloid cyst and nodules, which showed
homogenous texture and isoechoic appearance, while thyroiditis gives
heterogeneous texture and hypoechoic appearance. Thyroid volume
significantly correlated with body weight and BMI.
The study concluded that ultrasound is effective modality in detection and
diagnosis of thyroid disorder
