No inflammation of thyroid tissue is present; the overall size of thyroid within normal limits about 11 cu cm; three solid nodules are reflecting less ultrasound waves then surrounding tissue, they can be monitored for growth [by follow up ultrasound in 6 to 12 months}.
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. I know I should wait to see the doctor, but I picked up my own results.
What about the cystic one on the left? Is there a difference between nonspecific and cystic?
These nodules are very small, so more investigation is not necessary or possible at this point, unless you are under 20 y.o.If the blood tests are normal and there is no family history of thyroid abnormalities or cancer, you may repeat the ultrasound 12 months from now preferably at the same place, to see if nodules are stable in size.
The only reason for this that 3 nodules are hypoechoic, so at this point it hard to say about their feautres; the cystic nodule is a blister filled with fluid [colloid or blood]
Again, my sincere thank you.

I came across this. Can you help me . I had a sono on 9/13/2010 and again on 1/24/2011 due to spasms and a large golf size knot coming up in front of my neck for abut 30 seconds each time this happens. I also can feel and see an enlargement on the right side. This is what the radiology reports says. The current study compared witht he previous examination of 9/13 shows the right lobe to be 6.1x2.1x1.8 cm. There is a 0.8 cm hypoechoic complex nodule in the lower pole. the left lobe of the the gland measures 6.1x1.5x1.6 cm. No deiscfete nodule or cyst in the left lobe is seen. The isthums is 0.4 cm with a 0.7 cm isoechoic nodule seen
Impression: Enlarged gland with significant enlargement seen since the last study of 9/13. There is a single nodule in the right lobe and another nodle in the isthmus.
