For a thyroid swelling (it moves with swallowing), the first steps are TSH, the initial screening test for function, and neck ultrasound, which shows the nodule's features and decides whether FNA is needed.
- FNA comes after ultrasound selects the nodule.
- A radionuclide scan is for patients with thyrotoxicosis.
- CT is not a first-line test.
