• Ultrasound of the thyroid gland With the help of ultrasound diagnosis, the doctor will determine the size and shape of the thyroid gland, as well as the possible presence of nodules, cysts, adenomas or other neoplasms in it.
• Puncture of the thyroid gland Taking the cell material for subsequent analysis is the determination of the type and shape of cells. It allows to reveal the nature and type of pathology, including thyroid cancer.
• MRI of endocrine glands (magnetic resonance imaging) The magnetic field allows you to "see through" the structure and assess the condition of the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, abdominal organs, ovaries or testicles.
