Traditionally, thyroid imaging has been performed primarily using radionuclide scanning. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) was performed in 18 patients to evaluate the CT appearance of various thyroid abnormalities including diffuse toxic goiter, multinodular goiter, Hashimoto thyroiditis, thyroid adenoma, and malignant thyroid tumors. CT images of the thyroid were correlated with radionuclide scanning, surgical findings, and clinical and laboratory results. CT provided a complementary method for evaluation of the thyroid by defining the morphology of the thyroid gland and more precisely defining the anatomic extent of thyroid abnormalities in relation to the normal structures of the neck and mediastinum.
传统上，甲状腺成像主要通过放射性核素扫描进行。对18例患者进行了高分辨率计算机断层扫描（CT），以评估各种甲状腺异常的CT表现，包括弥漫性毒性甲状腺肿、多结节性甲状腺肿、桥本甲状腺炎、甲状腺腺瘤和甲状腺恶性肿瘤。甲状腺的CT图像与放射性核素扫描、手术结果以及临床和实验室结果相关联。CT通过确定甲状腺的形态，并更精确地确定甲状腺异常相对于颈部和纵隔正常结构的解剖范围，为甲状腺评估提供了一种补充方法。
