Soft Tissue - Thyroid Right Lobe
Caption
In this view we see half of the thyroid gland, which has similar echogenicity to the liver. The thyroid isthmus overlies the trachea and it extends into the right thyroid lobe which lies medial to the pulsatile right carotid artery. Lateral to the carotid we see the right internal jugular vein. Superficial to the IJ and carotid we see the large sternocleidomastoid muscle; medial to that, superficial to the trachea and thyroid on the right side of the screen, are the strap muscles.
