Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective dual source dual energy computed tomography (DS-DECT) is for diagnosing benign and malignant thyroid nodules using data from 60 patients treated surgically.
- Results showed DS-DECT had a perfect diagnosis accuracy of 100%, with significant differences found in iodine content between benign and malignant nodules, particularly in the venous phase.
- The optimal iodine concentration and standardized CT values for distinguishing between the two types of nodules were identified, achieving high sensitivity and specificity in diagnoses.
