Thyroid
Hypothyroidism is a condition that affects an estimated 13 million people in the United States. Unfortunately, due to the symptoms, the condition often goes undiagnosed. Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics’ comprehensive thyroid menu allows clinicians to diagnose, confirm and monitor a wide range of thyroid disorders.
