Ultrasound - US EXAM OF HEAD & NECK.

Touch provides non-invasive, real-time ultrasound imaging of the head and neck for accurate assessment of the thyroid gland, cervical lymph nodes and soft-tissue masses. Examinations are performed by experienced, certified sonographers across Dubai using high-resolution ultrasound equipment, offering safe, radiation-free diagnostics for adults and children. Reports are interpreted by specialist radiologists and can be delivered electronically to your referring clinician or via Touch's patient portal.

• Bring your referral, Emirates ID and insurance information for registration.
• Wear loose, two-piece clothing and remove necklaces or other neck jewellery.
• No fasting or contrast is required; continue medications as prescribed.
• Inform staff about recent neck surgery, biopsies, or known thyroid disorders.
• Arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete paperwork and pre-scan checks.

• You will lie on the examination couch with your neck slightly extended for better access.
• A warm gel is applied to the skin while the sonographer moves the transducer over the neck.
• You may be asked to swallow, speak or turn your head to improve image acquisition.
• Doppler imaging may be used to evaluate blood flow in the thyroid and cervical vessels.
• The procedure is painless and typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the study.

There is no recovery period and you may resume normal activities immediately after the scan. Images are reviewed by a radiologist and a written report is typically available within 24–48 hours; same-day or urgent reporting can be arranged through Touch when needed. If additional imaging, biopsy or specialist referral is recommended, Touch can assist with scheduling and sharing results with your treating clinician.
