Abstract
Computed tomography of the neck will demonstrate the [human] thyroid gland particularly well after contrast enhancement. Lucent nodules within the thyroid can be demonstrated, but the attenuation numbers are not reliable enough to distinguish cystic from solid lesions with current techniques because of partial volume effects and motion artifacts.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
