USG - Neck
USG - NECK is an ultrasound scan used to evaluate the soft tissues, lymph nodes, thyroid gland, salivary glands, blood vessels, and other structures in the neck region for abnormalities or disease.
USG - NECK is a non-invasive imaging examination that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the structures within the neck. The scan helps assess the thyroid gland, lymph nodes, salivary glands, soft tissues, blood vessels, and other neck structures.
This examination is commonly performed to investigate neck swelling, enlarged lymph nodes, thyroid enlargement, cysts, infections, abscesses, tumors, salivary gland disorders, or unexplained neck pain. It can help distinguish between solid and fluid-filled lesions and evaluate the size, shape, and characteristics of abnormal tissues.
Neck ultrasound is safe, painless, radiation-free, and provides real-time imaging. It is often used for diagnosis, follow-up monitoring, and guidance during procedures such as fine-needle aspiration (FNA) or biopsy.

- Patients with neck swelling or palpable lumps
- Individuals with enlarged lymph nodes
- Patients with thyroid or salivary gland abnormalities
