Abstract:
Objectives
1.
To study the normal size of thyroid lobes in Pakistani female
population age between 20-60 years. With the help of ultrasounographic
techniques.
2.
To check the accuracy of ultrasound thyroid measurements.
Method
Random 100 female of 20-60 years of age group were scanned by
ultrasound.
Took two measurements (APL longitudinal) in sagittal section & one
measurement in trasverse section of each lobe where as AP measurement of
isthmus,
Machine used were Toshiba Nemio XG + Toshiba Xerio equipped with 7.5
– 10 MHz linear probe
Results
The overall assessment of my study, result comparable with global lower
range of thyroid measurements may be due to the sample population was
female only.
I also found that right lobe is larger as compare to left lobe.
Conclusion
• Therefore I conclude that ultrasound have high accuracy rate for the
measurement of thyroid gland.
