Overview
Key CT or MRI Findings in (Disease Name)
- CT is best at staging lymph node involvement (see thyroid cancer staging). Involved lymph nodes tend to have 1:
- cystic components: ~35%
- thick nodular walls: ~40%
- septa: ~60%
- purely cystic nodes are uncommon and more frequent in young patients
- calcification may be seen occasionally
- the so-called lateral aberrant thyroid is actually a lymph node metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma
