Cover Story: At present, there are only limited data regarding the correlation between computed tomography density, as measured in Hounsfield units, and the functional status of the thyroid gland, as assessed by TSH levels. It has been suggested that measuring the iodine concentration in the thyroid gland could be a useful method for evaluating the turnover of iodine. The application of dual-energy technology enables the measurement of iodine concentration within the thyroid gland via the material decomposition algorithm. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between thyroid function and iodine concentration as measured with dual-energy computed tomography. View this paper
