Quantitative Assessment of Thyroid Nodules Using Dual-Energy Computed Tomography: Iodine Concentration Measurement and Multiparametric Texture Analysis for Differentiating between Malignant and Benign Lesions

Table 1

Iodine content and slope of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

	Benign lesions (n = 14)		Malignant lesions (n = 20)		AUC
	Mean	SD	Mean	SD
Iodine content (mg/mL)	0.54	0.849	0.437	0.542	0.564
Slope	0.836	0.924	0.667	0.609	0.571

SD = standard deviation; AUC = area under receiver operating characteristic curve.
