High-frequency ultrasonography is ideally suited to imaging of the thyroid and parathyroid glands by virtue of their superficial location in the neck. Ultrasonography of the thyroid is most commonly used in the evaluation of the solitary nodule. Ultrasonography of the parathyroid glands is usually performed to evaluate and localise parathyroid abnormalities in patients with hypercalcemia. The increased diagnostic acumen offered by this modality allows a realistic working diagnosis and leads to a rational management strategy.
由于甲状腺和甲状旁腺位于颈部浅表位置，高频超声检查非常适合对其进行成像。甲状腺超声检查最常用于评估单发结节。甲状旁腺超声检查通常用于评估高钙血症患者的甲状旁腺异常并对其进行定位。这种检查方式提高的诊断敏锐度有助于做出符合实际情况的初步诊断，并制定合理的治疗策略。
