21 year old male with neck swelling

What types of organs are best to image with ultrasound?

Answer:
Organs that are close to the surface, and not covered by bone or air (both of which block the sound beam) are best to image with ultrasound. This includes the thyroid gland in the neck, which is just under the skin with no bones in front of it.
