The thyroid gland is an organ located in the neck, which produces vital hormones. These hormones regulate the basal metabolic rate and act in almost all body cells, stimulating energy metabolism there. They are also important for growth and differentiation. Hormone production requires iodine. In the case of a corresponding undersupply, the lack of formation of these hormones can occur. This hormone deficiency is then registered in our pituitary gland and the control hormone TSH is released, which is supposed to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce more. However, an increased release of TSH also leads to thyroid growth and the so-called goitre (goiter) can develop. The shape of the thyroid gland can be examined in humans by palpating the neck. A pronounced goiter is visible in humans. In imaging diagnostics, mainly ultrasound and scintigraphy are used for further clarification in the case of nodules and functional disorders. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are also used for special questions. Fine needle aspiration of the thyroid gland is used to obtain samples for cytology. A biopsy is used to obtain samples for histological examination. These special examinations are then performed after referral to a radiologist. In the laboratory, free T3 and T4 levels as well as TSH and thyroglobulin levels can be determined. For special questions, further laboratory parameters, e.g. antibodies, are requested. If we find an enlarged thyroid gland during the physical examination, further clarification is carried out by means of ultrasound (sonography) of the thyroid gland.
Sonography of the carotid arteries consists, on the one hand, in the determination of the wall inner layer thickness (so-called intima-media complex) and representation of soft, hard, calcium-dense or also shadowing plaques in the flow area of the cerebral vessels visible outside the skull.The widening of the intima-media complex and plaques are signs of systemic arteriosclerosis. In connection with elevated cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, obesity or smoking, sonography of the neck vessels therefore provides essential information on the personal risk situation.Color-coded duplex sonography of the neck vessels also reveals significant constrictions, occlusions, vessel tears or even relevant changes in blood flow.
Cardiac ultrasound can be used for advanced diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. It provides valuable information about cardiac function and any defects. Cardiomyopathy, inflammation, blood clots and heart failure can also be detected with the help of a cardiac echo. In principle, performing a cardiac ultrasound is low-risk and painless for patients. Ergometry can provide indications of calcification of the coronary vessels. Our heart beats about 60 times a minute and must contract and then expand again. It is only during the expansion that the heart itself is supplied with blood and thus oxygen, since the supply vessels are squeezed during the contraction phase. The blood supply to the inner layers of our heart muscle is now restricted in the case of calcifications, since less blood can flow through per time due to the reduced diameter of the corresponding vessels caused by the calcifications. At rest, this may not bother the patient in question. We remember: At rest, the heart beats about 60 times a minute. However, when we exert ourselves, the pulse also increases in accordance with the exertion, and this naturally reduces the time that the heart muscle gets to recover after each beat. This also decreases the time for oxygen supply. During an exercise ECG, we want to provoke exactly this condition to see if there is a reduction in blood flow to the heart. This causes changes in the ECG, which we can then record.
Ultrasound of the leg veins in the presence of thrombosis, orienting screening for pAVD with sonography of the iliac arteries and Aa. femorales, ABI (ankle-brachial index).
During the ultrasound of the abdomen, the liver with bile ducts and gall bladder, the pancreas, parts of the stomach and the spleen are examined in detail. At the same time, the large abdominal vessels are examined, including the aorta with its large outlets, the vena cava and the portal vein. Furthermore, a sonographic examination of the intestine is performed - in the case of corresponding complaints, the descending colon and the region around the appendix in particular are examined more closely. In the case of gastrointestinal infections, an assessment of the small intestine can also be performed.
