If there is a need to scan the thyroid gland, most of the time it can be done using an ultrasound scan. If further testing is needed, sometimes a doctor will order what's called a thyroid scan. A thyroid scan is a picture of the thyroid gland. This is taken after a small dose of a radioactive isotope, that is normally absorbed by the thyroid cells, has been injected or swallowed. This helps a physician determine if a growth on the thyroid is an active part of the thyroid tissue or not.
