In this course focusing on thyroid ultrasound, we cover all relevant topics related to thyroid disorders – from  basics to advanced.  You will learn the anatomy of the neck and get a wrap-up of thyroid function and physiology. Find out how to image the thyroid, which cut planes you need to acquire, and what you see on the image. A large section is devoted to the detection and characterization of nodules. Here we explain the TIRADS classification. In addition, we discuss thyroid cancer and diffuse disease, Graves disease, Hashimoto,  hyperparathyroidism and more. Last but not least we will also show you which  treatment options are available. From medical treatment, radioiodine therapy to surgery.  This course will teach you not only sonography of the thyroid but also  how to manage your patients.
