Abstract
A good understanding of the anatomic structures of the neck surrounding the thyroid gland is a requisite for safely performing image guided procedures on the thyroid gland. Patients presenting for treatment of thyroid nodules can have anatomy that is distorted by the nodules or by prior surgery. This pictorial review describes the anatomy of the thyroid gland and surrounding structures. Additionally, a review of how to perform an ultrasound exam of the thyroid gland and how to categorize thyroid nodules is included.
期刊介绍:
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
