Multinodular goiter

These ultrasound images of a middle aged female patient reveal: a) multiple solid nodules of varying sizes in both lobes of the thyroid gland b) coarsening of the echotexture of the thyroid gland c) cystic lesions scattered throughout the gland d) diffuse increase in size of the thyroid.

e) color doppler imaging reveals moderate augmentation of the vascularity of the thyroid. These findings suggest multinodular goiter of the thyroid. For more ultrasound images of thyroid pathology, visit: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/thyroid.htm

Cystic lesions of the thyroid

Thyroid cyst with nodule within it:
























Ultrasound images of the thyroid revealed a large cystic lesion with an irregular solid nodule along the margin of the cyst. Doppler imaging shows absence of significant vascularity in the nodule. This means that the nodule may be formed by debris within the cystic mass, typically seen in colloid cysts of the thyroid.

Ultrasound images of retrosternal goiter

Xray images show a large rounded opacity in the upper mediastinum.















































Ultrasound images of the thyroid show a huge gland, with inhomogenous appearance and calcification, extending to the retrosternal region. The thyroid measures more than 5 x 8 cms. These images by Mr. Shlomo Gobi of Israel were taken using the endocavity probe to better visualize the retrosternal extension of the thyroid goiter. Xray images show the goiter in the retrosternal region. You can view more such intersting ultrasound images of thyroid diseases at:

Interesting ultrasound images of the thyroid:

I have added some really nice sonographic images of the thyroid in my ultrasound image gallery.
See: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/thyroid.htm Among the cases (and ultrasound pictures) I have discussed here are: 1) multinodular goitre 2) Hashimoto's thyroiditis 3) thyrotoxicosis 4) hemithyroidectomy 5) sublingual thyroid. The last is a rare enitity and I have added 6 high res. images of this lesion.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a common condition that afflicts a large percentage of the populace here in S. India.

Endometrial hyperplaisa in a child

These ultrasound images of the uterus in a 12 yr. old female child with intermittent bleeding per vagina reveal- a) markedly thickened endometrium (3.3 cms). b) color doppler images reveal vascularity within the thickened endometrium. These images suggest endometrial hyperplasia (benign) in a child. The cause is presumably, increased oestrogen activity. Images courtesy of Dr. Richa Dikshit, India.

Fetus nibbling its own cord

The fetus is seen nibbling the umbilical cord in this 3D ultrasound image courtesy of Dr. Arun Mahajan, Delhi, India.

A few moments later the cord falls away.
