Most thyroid ultrasounds are performed to evaluate a small lump (nodule) in the thyroid found during a physical examination or found by a radionuclide study (thyroid scan).
A benign thyroid condition is important to treat because it can still impact the overall health and function of the thyroid gland. There might also be a root cause as to why there is the benign condition. As long as a goiter, thyroid nodule, or thyroid adenoma are benign, not growing or causing symptoms such as a cough or difficulty to swallow or breathe, it will be monitored through diagnostic testing and ultrasounds.
The folks who do ultrasounds are generally called ultrasound technicians.
Preparation by the patient is generally unnecessary, although under special circumstances an ophthalmologist may perform pretest procedures. The ophthalmologist and/or ultrasound technician will conduct all preparations.

These are considered totally safe by all the gynaecologists. Some ladies might have to undergo through more ultrasounds if some fetus anomaly is suspected. There is no evidence that these ultrasounds were harmful to fetus. So ultrasound during pregnancy is totally safe. The number of ultrasounds required are decided by the gynaecologists.
They used to get trans-vaginal ultrasounds. Never heard of trans-rectal ultrasound, but why not? Doctors are very inventive.
