Abstract

The thyroid gland is an essential component of our endocrine system and regulates a wide range of critical metabolic functions. Both focal and diffuse thyroid disorders can impact function. The parathyroid glands regulate serum calcium levels. Parathyroid evaluation is almost always done in the setting of hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia. A combination of imaging techniques is used to evaluate thyroid and parathyroid pathology and function, including ultrasound, CT, MRI, and radionuclide imaging.
