Differentiation Between Benign and Malignant Thyroid Nodule With Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Measurements and Its Histopathological Correlation
Abstract:BACKGROUNDThe aetiology of thyroid nodules is diverse. Benign causes include the colloid nodule and the classical multinodular goiter. Occasionally, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Grave's disease may present with nodularity. Malignant causes include thyroid cancer, lymphoma as well as metastasis to the thyroid glands. The objectives of the study were to compare ADC value of indeterminate thyroid nodules (includes TIRADS 3, 4 & 5) with their histopathology and then evaluate its role in differentiating malignant fr… Show more
