Overview
MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer. MRI may also be performed to detect metastases of papillary thyroid cancer to brain and bones.
MRI
Key MRI Findings in Papillary thyroid cancer
- Nodes have a tendency to become cystic. The cystic component will have near-fluid attenuation.
- General signal characteristics include:
- T1
- Hypointense cf. muscle
- Enhancement best seen with fat suppression
- T2: variable 2
- Hypointense: 34%
- Isointense: 45%
- Hyperintense: 21%
- MRI Examples of Papillary thyroid cancer
