Dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI model selection for predicting tumor aggressiveness in papillary thyroid cancers

The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal tracer kinetic model from T 1 ‐weighted dynamic contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE‐MRI) data and evaluate whether parameters estimated from the optimal model predict tumor aggressiveness determined from histopathology in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) prior to surgery. In this prospective study, 18 PTC patients underwent pretreatment DCE‐MRI on a 3 T MR scanner...
