Objective To explore the application value and accuracy of thyroid ultrasound examination in health check ups. Methods The study period was selected from December 2024 to December 2025, with a total of 1000 participants undergoing health check ups in our hospital. The participants were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method. The control group underwent thyroid palpation for examination, while the observation group of 500 subjects underwent thyroid ultrasound examination to evaluate the accuracy of the two groups and clarify the application value of thyroid ultrasound examination. Results The observation group underwent thyroid ultrasound examination, which detected a total of 150 thyroid cysts, 11 adenomas, 38 diffuse thyroid diseases, 56 thyroid nodules, 1 esophageal diverticulum, and 3 malignant tumors, with a detection rate of 51.80%; A total of 123 cases of thyroid cysts, 8 cases of adenomas, 32 cases of diffuse thyroid disease, 34 cases of thyroid nodules, 0 cases of esophageal diverticulum, and 2 cases of malignant tumors were detected in the control group, with a detection rate of 39.80%. The data showed that the detection rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05); The observation group had 5 misdiagnosis cases, with a misdiagnosis rate of 1.00%, while the control group had 8 misdiagnosis cases, with a misdiagnosis rate of 1.6%. The data showed that the misdiagnosis rate of the observation group was lower (P<0.05); The number of missed diagnoses in the observation group was 6, with a missed diagnosis rate of 1.20%, while the number of missed diagnoses in the control group was 9, with a missed diagnosis rate of 1.80%. The misdiagnosis rate and missed diagnosis rate of the observation group were both better (P<0.05). Conclusion Through this study, it was found that using thyroid ultrasound examination in health check ups can effectively help patients improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce the probability of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
