Thyroid function test detects hormonal changes. But whether there is a nodule or cyst etc is not detected. For that ultrasonography of the gland is required. Further if any nodule / nodules detected, then in some cases ultrasonography guided FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) may be required. Thanks.

The term “hypoechoic” refers to the way a nodule looks on an ultrasound, also called a sonogram. Ultrasound machines produce sound waves that penetrate your body, bouncing off tissues, bones, muscles, and other substances. Most thyroid nodules are benign, which means they aren’t cancerous. About 2 or 3 in 20 are malignant, or cancerous.
