Did I mislead the radiologist?

[Ophelia89]

I just had an ultrasound done.  I have a large complex nodule on one side and 2 small nodules on the other side.  The radiologist told me that I have attributes leaning towards benign.  But I told him my tsh was high (it was 3.69 in jan, 2. 69 in dec which the doctor said was too high he likes it at .5-1).  I am on armour thyroid but the doctor increased dose from 60 gr to 90 gr a day because of low thyroid symptoms and the tsh levels.  

Did I mislead the radiologist beause I told him my tsh was high (i was thinking of what the doctor who prescribes my thyroid medicine said).  

What are the attributes that a radiologist looks at when looking at an ultrasound?  My lymph nodes were all in the normal range.

I am not a dr. but I don't think so at all.  He just adds what you say (which is the truth) to the clinical picture before him and then they put the pieces together.  Attributes will look the same with or without the added verbal info which only would add to the picture after the attributes are looked at.

I'm not an expert by any means, but that would be my assumption?

I don't think you mislead the radiologist.

Not sure what TSH would have to do with ultrasound findings, though.

"Leaning toward benign" is a little vague, though. There will be a report generated with a lot of medical jargon. Get your hands on a copy and see what it says.
