High-frequency ultrasonography is ideally suited to imaging of the thyroid and parathyroid glands by virtue of their superficial location in the neck. Ultrasonography of the thyroid is most commonly used in the evaluation of the solitary nodule. Ultrasonography of the parathyroid glands is usually performed to evaluate and localise parathyroid abnormalities in patients with hypercalcemia. The increased diagnostic acumen offered by this modality allows a realistic working diagnosis and leads to a rational management strategy.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010279	Parathyroid Diseases	Pathological processes of the PARATHYROID GLANDS. They usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body.

D010280	Parathyroid Glands	Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body.	Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland

D013961	Thyroid Gland	A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

D014463	Ultrasonography	The visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues. Use of ultrasound for imaging or diagnostic purposes employs frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 10 megahertz.
