Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, thyroid ultrasound yɛ nhwehwɛmu a ɛnyɛ yaw a ɛhwɛ wo thyroid ntini ne ntini a atwa ho ahyia wɔ wo kɔn mu. Ɛte sɛ nea woretwa mfonini. Ɛtɔ da bi a nnuruyɛfo frɛ no ``sonogram'' anaa ``echogram.'' Ebia woate saa nsɛmfua no pɛn.

Saa thyroid ultrasound nhwehwɛmu yi ne ɔkwan a wɔtaa fa so hu thyroid haw ahorow mprempren. Etumi hu nneɛma pii. Nhwɛsoɔ:

Dɛn nti na oduruyɛfo bɛkamfo akyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ thyroid ultrasound?

Mpɛn pii no, oduruyɛfo bɛkra saa scan yi bere a wɔayɛ nhwehwɛmu foforo awie anaasɛ esiane sɛnkyerɛnne bi a worenya nti. Susuw ho saa kwan yi so:

Ɛtɔ mmere bi a, sɛ oduruyɛfo no hu biribi bere a woreyɛ wo nipadua mu nhwehwɛmu a, wobetumi ayɛ saa scan yi ntɛm ara. Nanso ɛnyɛ nea ɛtaa ba kakra.

Sɛ saa ultrasound scan yi kyerɛ biribi a ɛyɛ soronko a, wo duruyɛfo bɛkyerɛ wo nhwehwɛmu anaa ayaresa a ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ akyi. Mma ɛnhaw wo, ɛnyɛ akuru nyinaa na ɛyɛ kokoram.

Ɔkwan bɛn so na saa scan yi yɛ adwuma?

Ultrasound scan de nnyigyei asorɔkye di dwuma de yɛ akwaa ne ntini a ɛwɔ wo nipadua mu no ho mfonini. Ultrasound afiri no de nnyigyei asorɔkye yi kɔ wo thyroid ntini no mu.

Thyroid ultrasound yɛ nhwehwɛmu a wɔyɛ no ntɛmntɛm na ɛnyɛ den yiye. Anamɔn ahorow bi a ɛfa ho ni:

Ɛno ne no! Ɛnyɛ den koraa, ɛnte saa?
