Ultrasound examination of the thyroid is useful for preoperative assessment of thyroid nodules including papillary thyroid carcinoma. The examination mainly is to determine the malignant potential of thyroid nodule(s). There are different systems to predict malignant potential in the thyroid nodules and cervical lymph nodes by ultrasound. Ultrasound is used in conjunction with fine-needle aspiration to diagnosis papillary thyroid carcinoma. It is used as guidance to locate the sites to obtain the samples for diagnosis and research in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
甲状腺超声检查对术前评估甲状腺结节（包括甲状腺乳头状癌）很有用。该检查主要用于确定甲状腺结节的恶性潜能。目前有多种超声系统可用于预测甲状腺结节和颈部淋巴结的恶性潜能。超声联合细针抽吸用于诊断甲状腺乳头状癌。在诊断和研究甲状腺乳头状癌时，超声用于引导定位以获取样本。
