My friends dr. told her he wanted to do an endoscope to check her thyroid. what's he checking for?

Something's wrong: Hi. The thyroid cannot be checked endoscopically. Something got confused in the translation! Did the doc perhaps say ultrasound instead of endoscope? See if you can get clarification. Good luck!
