Only a doctor can order the tests to determine if any thyroid nodule is dangerous. A thyroid uptake scan will help your doctor determine if your thyroid is hot (active) or cold (inactive).
hi i had a heterogeneous solid nodule with a maximal dimension of 15mm and 2 small nodules of 2 mm and 8 mm at the upper and lower poles.
what does it mean heterogeneous signal in the thyroid gland and a left lobe nodule meawsuring approximately 6mm.
A 15 cm nodule is approximately the size of a large grapefruit or a small cantaloupe. To visualize it, it measures about 5.9 inches in diameter, making it significant in size compared to common objects. Such a nodule would be considered relatively large in a medical context, potentially warranting further investigation.
Goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland. Nodules are growths that lead to the enlargements. Multinodular means that there are many nodules. Heterogeneous means that there is no pattern to the nodules. it is a benign condition.
A heterogenous thyroid nodule can't be "fixed", but it can be treated or removed if it is causing a problem. Not all nodules need treatment. There are multiple types and causes of nodules. The treatment (if needed) is based entirely upon the reason for the nodule however, and seeing an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid care is important to an appropriate diagnosis and treatment of the condition.
A slightly heterogeneous solid subcutaneous nodule is a lump under the skin. The whole lump doesn't have the exact same texture. This is a non specific finding; you must talk with your health care provider to find out what, if any, other tests are required to find out what the nature of the lump is.
they have got a root nodule
If 15cm is the diameter then the radius is 7.5cm If the circumference is 15cm then the radius is 7.5/pi cm
15cm = 5.9 inches.
15cm-58mm equals = -43
A singer's nodule, also known as a screamer's nodule or a teacher's nodule, is a small, inflammatory or fibrous growth on the vocal cords. It typically occurs in people who constantly strain their voices.
