It uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images, providing crucial insights into the gland&#8217;s size, structure, and any abnormalities. This thyroid test is commonly used in Singapore to assess thyroid nodules, monitor known conditions, and distinguish between benign vs malignant thyroid nodules.<\/p><p>The procedure involves a handheld device called a transducer, which emits sound waves and captures their echoes as they bounce off the thyroid. These signals are converted into real-time images displayed on a monitor. A thyroid specialist in Singapore may recommend a thyroid ultrasound if there are symptoms like a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, or abnormal blood test results during a thyroid check.<\/p><p>This procedure is completely safe, as it does not use ionizing radiation. It can detect nodules, cysts, inflammation, and other thyroid abnormalities. Importantly, it helps differentiate benign growths from potentially malignant ones, guiding further diagnostic or treatment steps.<\/p><p>For those concerned about their thyroid health, a thyroid test in Singapore, including an ultrasound, is a vital step toward accurate diagnosis and effective management under the care of a thyroid specialist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2163d6a e-flex e-con-boxed elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2163d6a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;,&quot;premium_particles_zindex&quot;:0,&quot;premium_particles_responsive&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-585f957 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"585f957\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:150}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How is a Thyroid Ultrasound Test Performed<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d016700 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d016700\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shutterstock_1934630516-1024x540.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2423\" alt=\"asian lady getting a thyroid check singapore\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shutterstock_1934630516-1024x540.webp 1024w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shutterstock_1934630516-300x158.webp 300w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shutterstock_1934630516-768x405.webp 768w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shutterstock_1934630516-1536x810.webp 1536w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shutterstock_1934630516-2048x1080.webp 2048w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shutterstock_1934630516-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f253c91 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f253c91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Here are the steps typically involved in a thyroid ultrasound procedure:<\/p><ol><li>Preparation<ul><li>No special preparation is required for a thyroid ultrasound.

American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines deem hemithyroidectomy as adequate for small tumors up to 4 centimeters in low risk patients. Total thyroidectomy is considered for patients with high risk features. Benefits of removing all thyroid tissue include the ease of subsequent monitoring, by increasing the sensitivity of thyroglobulin assays as a tumor marker, and allowing proper interpretation of thyroxine stimulating hormone (TSH) levels during suppression therapy. Total thyroidectomy also facilitates radioactive iodine administration for diagnostic scans when looking out for locoregional or systemic recurrence, and enhances the efficacy of radioactive iodine treatment for ablation if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c062d6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1c062d6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;,&quot;premium_particles_zindex&quot;:0,&quot;premium_particles_responsive&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71623e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"71623e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/body_10437556-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2032\" alt=\"tools 2 for thyroid check singapore | Dr Natascha Putri\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/body_10437556-1.png 512w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/body_10437556-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/body_10437556-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/drnataschaputri.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/body_10437556-1-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a01b01 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a01b01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:150}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Surveillance Strategies: Thyroid Ultrasound<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a32b20 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a32b20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surveillance strategies are dictated by the patient\u2019s initial risk profile and modified according to their response to therapy. Most patients initially undergo annual biochemical tests and thyroid ultrasound monitoring for the first 5 years, as recurrences tend to occur early. Qualitative measurements of thyroglobulin and antibodies are serially traced to look for uptrending values or absolute high levels. Any further investigations like the whole body scan will be determined by the degree of suspicion for recurrent disease, as guided by the combination of the patient\u2019s baseline risk profile after a thyroid test, and current clinical status at follow up with a thyroid specialist in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a67507 e-flex e-con-boxed elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9a67507\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;,&quot;premium_particles_zindex&quot;:0,&quot;premium_particles_responsive&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22e87ab elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"22e87ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:150}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Thyroid Test Prices\/Packages<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-340027c elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"340027c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are various tests available to assess thyroid health, each tailored to specific needs. Common options include thyroid ultrasounds, which evaluate the gland&#8217;s structure, and hormonal profiles (e.g., TSH, Free T3, Free T4) to measure thyroid function. An autoimmune workup checks for antibodies like Anti-TPO or thyroglobulin antibodies to detect autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis. For patients with a history of well-differentiated thyroid cancer, tests such as thyroglobulin and thyroglobulin antibody are crucial. These act as surrogate tumor markers to monitor for cancer recurrence during follow-up.<\/p><p>The cost of these tests in Singapore depends on the combination your doctor deems necessary based on your condition.
