A member asked:

What does ultrasound of thyroid-red and blood within a nodule mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood flow: The color doppler images show flow within a nodule. This really only indicates the nodule is made of solid tissue with internal blood vessels and, as such, is not a cyst.
