Expert Thyroid Sonography in Nashik by Dr. Dipti Deore | Advanced Diagnostic Services
Thyroid scans, offered by Dr. Dipti Deore, a leading expert in thyroid sonography in Nashik, are vital diagnostic procedures for assessing thyroid gland function. These scans employ gamma cameras and radioactive tracers to produce detailed images of the thyroid gland.
Before undergoing a thyroid scan at Dr. Dipti Deore’s clinic, it’s important to follow preparatory guidelines. Patients should discontinue thyroid medication three days prior to the scan and avoid iodine-containing foods, cough syrups, and certain medications. Pregnant or nursing women must inform their doctors, as special precautions may be necessary.
During the scan, patients are accompanied by a family member for support. Loose clothing should be worn, and jewelry removed. It’s essential to bring along medical records, including prior reports and prescription information.
The thyroid scan procedure begins with a review of the doctor’s referral note. After signing a consent form, patients discuss their medical history and allergies with Dr. Dipti Deore. A nurse prepares the patient for the scan by inserting a cannula for tracer injection.
Following tracer injection, a brief waiting period allows for absorption. Patients then lie on a bed inside the gamma scan room, where the tracer highlights the thyroid gland for imaging. High-quality images are generated by the scanning machine within 20 to 30 minutes.
After the scan, patients receive safety advice and may leave the clinic. It’s recommended to avoid contact with children and pregnant women for 24 hours and to drink plenty of fluids to flush out the tracer. Patients can resume normal activities and medication post-scan.
