Quantitative Assessment of Thyroid Nodules Using Dual-Energy Computed Tomography: Iodine Concentration Measurement and Multiparametric Texture Analysis for Differentiating between Malignant and Benign Lesions

Background and Objectives. Thyroid nodules are increasingly being detected during cross-sectional imaging of the neck and chest. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) using iodine concentration measurement and multiparametric texture analy...
