About this test

A USG neck is a safe, painless, radiation-free ultrasound that examines the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, lymph nodes, salivary glands, and soft tissues of the neck.

It helps detect thyroid nodules, goiter, and thyroiditis, and assesses nodule risk using TI-RADS. It also evaluates swollen lymph nodes from infection, tuberculosis, or cancer, salivary gland stones or tumors, parathyroid adenomas, and neck lumps such as cysts or abscesses.

It is commonly used to guide FNAC (needle biopsy), and is safe for children and pregnant women.

Questions about this test

When should I get the USG Neck test?

You should get a USG neck if you have a lump or swelling in the neck, enlarged thyroid, persistently swollen lymph nodes, or swelling or pain near the jaw or salivary glands. It is also recommended for abnormal thyroid tests, high calcium (suspected parathyroid problems), difficulty swallowing, and for monitoring known thyroid nodules or cancer.

How should I prepare for the USG Neck test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for a USG neck. Wear a loose, open-neck top for easy access, and remove necklaces, chains, and earrings. Avoid applying lotions or creams to your neck. Bring previous thyroid test results, scans, or biopsy reports if available, and continue your regular medicines.

Do I require fasting for the USG Neck test?

No, fasting is not required for a USG neck. You can eat and drink normally and take your regular medicines before the scan. Wear an open-neck top, remove any necklaces or earrings, and avoid applying creams to your neck. The scan usually takes 15–20 minutes.
