The thyroid gland is located in the anterior center of the neck. It has the shape of a butterfly that connects the two lobes in the middle. A thyroid biopsy involves taking samples of fluid and cells from a nodule in the thyroid gland using small, fine-needle aspiration.
Imaging techniques like ultrasonography and Doppler are typically used to find thyroid nodules and other abnormalities. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if a nodule is benign or not.
