Panoramic ultrasound of the thyroid.
Panoramic ultrasound is a technical modification of conventional ultrasound that produces images with a large anatomic field of view. Images obtained with this technique display both lobes of the thyroid gland on a single image, and provide an accurate imaging representation of a variety of thyroid disorders. This report describes the use of panoramic ultrasound and presents examples of panoramic ultrasound of the thyroid.
