USG Neck
The USG Neck is a safe and non-invasive imaging test that examines the structure of the neck. This test helps to examine the thyroid gland, lymph nodes, salivary glands, and surrounding soft tissues. This test uses sound waves to create real-time images, helping doctors detect abnormalities without any radiation exposure.
USG Neck is commonly used to evaluate swelling, lumps, or pain in the neck area. It helps in identifying conditions such as thyroid disorders, enlarged lymph nodes, cysts, or infections.
