Abstract

BACKGROUND: High-resolution ultrasound is considered the best imaging technique for evaluating the thyroid gland, as it is accessible, non-invasive, and highly sensitive concerning the detection and characterization of thyroid nodules. However, a background knowledge of the normal ultrasound anatomy of the thyroid gland, adjacent structures, and its anatomical variants is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis in daily practice. Through this pictorial review, we intend to.
