Transvaginal Probe Application in the Visualization and Evaluation of a Retrosternal Thyroid Mass
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrasound evaluation of the thyroid gland is relatively easy in most cases with excellent visualization of the gland with linear transducer allowing clear characterization of lesions as well as guidance for biopsy. However when retrosternal thyroid tissue extension is present, evaluation may be difficult. We report the simple use of widely available transvaginal probe in helping to visualize and evaluate the retrosternal thyroid tissue.

Hysterosonography (SHG) is a new noninvasive technique that involves the slow infusion of sterile saline solution into the uterus during ultrasound imaging. Expansion of endometrial cavity by SHG allows optimal visualization and plays an important role in the evaluation of abnormalities related to the uterus. The most common indications for hysterosonography are: abnormal uterine bleeding both ...

Localization of 99mTc- hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas is well known, and this warrants MIBI scan to evaluate suspected parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism. Typically, the radionuclide concentrates in both the thyroid gland and parathyroid adenoma in early images, and later on delayed images washes out slowly from the...
