This review examines how ultrasound improves thyroid ablative therapies, suggesting best practices for safety and effectiveness.
Ultrasound guidance is a fundamental component of all thyroid ablative therapies. It delivers essential anatomic and clinical insight for procedural planning, real-time guidance, and post-treatment follow-up. A strong foundation in diagnostic neck ultrasound anatomy and ultrasound-guided thyroid fine needle aspiration is recommended before incorporating ablative therapies into clinical practice. This review examines the role of ultrasound in thyroid ablative techniques and outlines best practice for its safe and effective use. Ongoing advances continue to enhance image quality and real-time utilization. As the field of thyroid surgery alternatives evolves, ultrasound remains a cornerstone.
