Endocrinology Ultrasound

Endocrine Thyroid Ultrasound Qualified?
An Endocrinologist specializing in endocrinology ultrasound guided biopsy, thyroid biopsy, thyroid ultrasound, or fine needle aspiration in an endocrinology center is a qualified thyroid doctor for treating:

• thyroid cancer
• thyroid nodule
• thyroid cyst
• parathyroid
• thyroid and pregnancy
• hashimoto's
• hypothyroid
• thyroid disease
• thyroiditis
• grave's disease
• hyperthyroid
• cytophology
• goiter
• autoimmune conditions

The American College of Endocrinology's Comprehensive Certification Examination (CCE) demonstrates students' proficiency and awards them a Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound (ECNU). Successful candidates demonstrate acquisition of their ability to diagnose thyroid and parathyroid disorders through both diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA). The ECNU designation is recognized by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and allows recipients to be directors of ultrasound laboratories and apply for AIUM Practice Certification.

Thyroid Doctors Use Endocrinologists' Ultrasound Machines
A Thyroidologist is a thyroid specialist for ultrasound thyroid evaluation, thyroid blood work, thyroid labs, thyroid check up, thyroid exam, endocrinology consultation, endocrinology exam, and thyroid cancer second opinions.

Thyroid doctors must be qualified to evaluate and treat a broad range of thyroid conditions including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, thyroid cysts, goiter, thyroid cancer, pregnancy-related thyroid concerns and autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease) and Graves' disease. Endocrinologists also evaluate patients for hyperparathyroidism and help determine if and when surgery is necessary.

Thyroid ultrasound is an effective way to diagnose health problems in the neck area of the endocrine system.

Board certified in Endocrinology, a thyroid doctor should offer extensive thyroid medical services including

• thyroid ultrasound,
• thyroid evaluation,
• ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules,
• in-office CLIA certified thyroid testing laboratory.

Endocrine System Care
Goals, methods, and outcomes of therapy will vary from patient to patient because numerous variables affect hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, nodules and cancer.
