Dear Dr.,
I had an ultrasound on my thyroid and the impression was multinodular goiter and recommended a radionuclide scan to exclude the possibility of a dominant cold nodule. What does that mean? The report also said there are large nodules present in both lobes. I know there are hot and cold nodules. Does cold mean anything bad? If there is any peripheral increased blood flow and measures about 1.7x1.4x1.3cm, what does that mean? In the isthmus, there is a complex area of abnormality with some slight increased blood flow measuring 1.2x0.4x1cm. Thank you for your answer.
Sincerly,
Linda
