A normal study would reveal a thyroid gland of normal size, shape, position, and uniform texture.
A thyroid with a coarse texture typically indicates the presence of nodules or structural irregularities within the gland. This can be assessed through imaging studies such as ultrasound. Coarse texture may suggest potential thyroid dysfunction or conditions such as goiter or thyroiditis. It's important for a healthcare provider to evaluate these findings to determine the appropriate course of action or treatment.

What is Hypoechoic to Isoechoic Nodule
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.
A homogeneous echotexture of the uterus means that the uterus is perfectly fine. It means there are no tumors, abnormalities, and that it is smooth in appearance.
This means they found a mass of skin on your ultrasound. Your uterus can sometimes grow masses. They can also grow cancers.
ECNU stands for "Endocrine Certification in Neck Ultrasound." It indicates that a physician has completed specialized training and certification in performing and interpreting neck ultrasounds, particularly for endocrine disorders such as thyroid and parathyroid diseases. This certification demonstrates the doctor's expertise in using ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in endocrinology.
An enlarged thyroid could mean a number of things. The actual term means that the thyroid gland, which controls most hormones in your body, has been enlarged. This could mean the possibility of thyroid disease, or possibly even thyroid cancer.
In ultrasound, heterogeneous typically refers to a tissue or structure that appears mixed or varied in its echogenicity or texture. This may indicate the presence of different types of tissues or abnormalities within the area being imaged.
