What does a hypoechoic nodule in soft tissues mean?
A thyroid nodule is simply a mass in your thyroid. Hyperechoic is a term used in ultrasound which determines how bright or dark the nodule is. Ultrasound is all black, white, and gray scales, so a hyperechoic nodule would be a mass in the thyroid that is BRIGHTER than the rest of the thyroid tissue.

What does it mean if they find hot nodules after doing a thyroid scan uptake?
After performing a thyroid scan uptake, if it is determined that there is a hot nodule it typically means that the nodule is hyperfuncitioning. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists ThyroidAwareness.com website, "The scan tells whether the nodule is hyperfunctioning (a "hot" nodule), or taking up more radioactivity than normal thyroid tissue does; taking up the same amount as normal tissue (a "warm" nodule); or taking up less (a "cold" nodule). Because cancer is rarely found in hot nodules, a scan showing a hot nodule eliminates the need for fine needle biopsy. If a hot nodule causes hyperthyroidism, it can be treated with radioiodine or surgery."

Does a cold nodule in the thyroid mean cancer?
If an endocrinologist asks you to undergo a thyroid uptake scan, you will have to take a small amount of radioactive isotope that will get absorbed by the thyroid gland. Within 24 hours of swallowing the radioactive isotope, pictures will be taken of your thyroid. This test helps to determine if a thyroid nodule is an active part of the thyroid tissue or not. When the nodule comes back as 'cold' this means that it didn't absorb as much of the radioactive isotope; as it would be expected by tissue that is an active part of the thyroid gland. A 'cold' nodule doesn't necessarily mean that you have cancer. It just means that your doctor might want to undergo further testing to determine if there is a need to monitor the nodule or surgically remove it.
