Conclusion
- Assessment of the post-operative neck can be tricky. Ultrasound evaluation is established as the first-line exam. However, radiologists are often confronted with post-thyroidectomy neck CT and MRI scans.
- Familiarity with the expected anatomic changes can avoid misinterpretation.
- Knowing the usual recurrence locations is also of help.
- A thorough and clear report of findings is better achieved with a structural report template
