I went to get blood drawn because ive been on synthroid now for 7
weeks and go to the endo next week. My dr gave me a copy of my
ultrasound results. I'm not sure of all the findings or the
importance of any of it, i just know i have nodules. what do you
gather from it?

History: 30 yo w/ hypothyroidism

Findings: Real time examination demostrates normal size of both
thyroid lobes and abnormal echotexture with heterogeneity. Bilateral
small lower pole echogenic nodules. The right lobe measures
3.9x1.4x1.9 cm. Moderate hetergeneity of the echotexture. The left
lobe measures 4.5x1.7x1.7 cm with simalar moderate heterogeneity of
the echotexture.

In the left thyroid lobe there is a dominant nodule. This is
hyperechoic and measures 1.5x1.3x1.3 cm with a smoothly margainated
capsule. A similar but smaller hyperechoic nodule which is smoothly
marginated and appears to have sonolucent interface between the
adjacent thyroid lobe measures .4x.5x.5cm.

Impression: 1. Normal sized thyroid lobes with diffuse heterogeneity
of the echotexture. 2. Solid inferior pole nodules with the left
thyroid lobe measuring 1.5.

I would like to be a little more educated before i go to the endo
appt next week. any thoughts or concerns?
