Dizziness, sensory or visual disturbances may be based on reduced blood flow to the brain due to vasoconstriction. Such narrowing of the arteries can be checked by ultrasound (Doppler) of the carotid arteries. Thyroid ultrasound (sonography) is a central part of a thyroid scan. The thyroid gland should be ultrasonographed not only once, but also at intervals between check-ups. In thyroid diseases, a distinction is made between diseases that are nodular or diffuse on ultrasound. The most common diffuse thyroid diseases are Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. In the case of thyroid nodules, the question arises whether the lesion is benign or malignant. In the case of thyroid nodules, so-called Doppler methods can be used. Nodules with a high blood flow are more likely to indicate malignant nodules, while nodules with a lower blood flow are more likely to indicate benign nodules.
