You can see thyroid nodules on CT scan. But the CT appearance is nonspecific. You can see both benign or non cancerous nodules as well as potentially malignant nodules. Ultrasound is usually better at determining which nodules or cysts are more likely to be benign and which nodules need to be biopsied
