How is ultrasound exam done when testing for thyroid cancer?

To test for thyroid cancer, your doctor uses sound waves. The sound waves bounce off your thyroid and send back signals. A computer uses the signals to create an image of your thyroid. The image can reveal the size and location of any thyroid nodules or bumps. However, this test cannot tell you if the bumps are cancer or not.
