Who interprets a THYROID ULTRASOUND?
A THYROID ULTRASOUND is interpreted by a RADIOLOGIST. A RADIOLOGIST is a doctor who is specially trained to evaluate and interpret ULTRASOUND, CT scans, MRI examinations, X-RAYS, FLUOROSCOPY EXAMS, and MAMMOGRAMS. An INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGIST is a specialty trained radiologist who possesses image-guidance skills to perform various different minimally-invasive surgeries. An INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGIST is therefore ideally suited to perform THYROID BIOPSY using ULTRASOUND GUIDANCE.
