What type of doctor can order a thyroid scan?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many: A thyroid scan gives info about metabolic activity in the thyroid gland. Almost any doctor involved in general medical care would be able to order this test if the patients history or physical findings supported the need. Depending on test results you may require follow up with an endocrinologist or a surgeon.
