Hi, I am amit. My age is 30. 2 years before I have been diagnosed with ultrasound on neck and found my right lobe of thyroid is bigger, left lobe is normal. My t3, t4, ths is normal and on fnac report it found right gland is non cancerous. Then I did 4 or 5 month ayurvedic treatment, I found it it is useful. But again I went to out of india and I leave all medicine. Again I came back india and went to doctor, doctor again asked me to do ct scan of thyroid along with fnac and t3, t4 and ths. My question is is ct scan is safe for thyroid? As last time other doctor did ultrasound of neck. And again doing fnac is not harmful? Please help me, I am scared as I read ct scan produce radiation and may harm thyroid gland.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. I understand that after coming back to india you consulted the doctor who suggested a scan for thyroid gland as well as to check thyroid hormones. But there is no mention about why did you go to the doctor. Are there any symptoms related to thyroid gland? Any size increase? Unless that information is there no comments can be made. As regards ct scan or usg and fnac these procedures are quite safe. These are ordered only when necessary. Best would be usg and guided fnac. Thanks.
