Panoramic view of the neck at the level of the thyroid gland. The normal thyroid gland and isthmus appear as a homogeneous, finely granular mid-gray echotexture structure on either side of the trachea. The sternocleidomastoid muscles can be seen just below the skin on either side of the neck. Strap muscles are noted just anterior to the thyroid isthmus. The common carotid arteries (more medial) and the internal jugular veins (more lateral) are noted lateral to the thyroid gland bilaterally. Note the marked asymmetry of the diameter of the internal jugular veins; this is a fairly common occurrence. Source: Chapter 18.
