Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) imaging can generate iodine-based material decomposition (MD) images and spectral HU curve. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of single-source dual-energy CT (DECT) and ultrasonography (US) for detecting lateral cervical lymph node metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
