A member asked:
What does this mean could it possibly be cancerous ? abnormal thyroid gland with bright t2 signal and heterogeneous nodularity
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid nodularity: Heterogeneous pattern of the thyroid may make it difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant nodules. This is a situation where a thyroidologist or head and neck surgeon, after examining the patient, would review the MRI with the radiologist and then make a decision about diagnostic possibilities and whether a needle biopsy is indicated. I think that this type of collaboration is best.
