The problem of diagnostics of diseases of thyroid gland is addressed, namely Hashimoto’s Lymphotitic thyroiditis, which is one of most usual thyroid gland diseases. As opposed to expensive diagnosis using magnetic resonance or by painful invasive methods, we base our method on using ultrasound images. Sonographic imaging of thyroid gland is done routinely and these images can be used to find new cases which can help to start treatment as soon as possible. It is hard for physician, to make thyroid gland diagnostics based on ultrasound image only. However, we have found out, that Hashimoto’s Lymphotitic thyroiditis changes the
pattern of the ultrasound scan.
