Thyroid Gland

  • Chapter
Radiological Imaging of Endocrine Diseases

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Evaluation of the thyroid is required in a number of clinical situations (Freitas and Freitas 1994), i.e., clinically solitary thyroid nodule, superior mediastinal mass, hyperthyroidism, diagnosis and postoperative follow-up of thyroid carcinoma, neonatal hypothyroidism, and anomalous thyroid development.
