Differentiating pulmonary metastasis from benign lung nodules in thyroid cancer patients using dual-energy CT parameters

To explore the importance of quantitative characteristics of dual-energy CT (DECT) between pulmonary metastasis and benign lung nodules in thyroid cancer.In this retrospective study, we identified 63 patients from our institution's database with pathologically proven thyroid cancer who underwent DECT to assess pulmonary metastasis. Among these patients, 22 had 55 pulmonary metastases, and 41 had 97 benign nodules. If nodules showed increased...
