What Is Ultrasound Neck?

Ultrasound neck imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the neck’s structures, including the thyroid, parathyroid, lymph nodes, and salivary glands. It helps diagnose conditions like thyroid nodules, cysts, goitre, or lymph node abnormalities, often linked to thyroid disorders, infections, or cancer. Dr. Naveed Basheeth employs state-of-the-art ultrasound technology, sometimes paired with fine needle aspiration, to deliver precise diagnostic insights for tailored treatment plans.

Ultrasound is suitable for those with suspected head and neck conditions. You may benefit if you experience:

  • Neck swelling or palpable lumps
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing
  • Suspected thyroid or parathyroid issues
  • Lymph node enlargement or pain
  • Need for accurate diagnosis before treatment

How Is Ultrasound Neck Different From Other ENT Services?

This radiation-free approach ensures precise diagnosis, supports targeted treatment planning, and minimizes patient discomfort while optimizing outcomes.
