32层螺旋CT在结节性甲状腺肿诊断中的应用

Application of 32-slice spiral CT in diagnosis of nodular goiter

目的探讨32层螺旋CT在结节性甲状腺肿诊断中的应用价值。方法 18例经手术病理证实结节性甲状腺肿患者,其中男性3例,女性15例,年龄17～65岁,平均年龄41岁。分析CT表现,并与病理检查对照。结果根据CT表现将结节性甲状腺肿分为多结节型、单结节型、囊肿型。18例病例中发现多结节型13例,单结节型2例,囊肿型3例。结论 32层螺旋CT对结节性甲状腺肿诊断是一种有价值的检查方法 。

Objective To study the value of 32- slice spiral CT（SCT） in diagnosis of nodular goiter. Methods The CT findings of 18 patients with nodular goiter（male 3, female 15; aged 17 - 65 years, mean age 41 years）, confirmed by surgery and pathological findings were analyzed retrospectively. Results The CT findings of nodular goiter were classified into multinodular type, mononodular type and cystic type. In 18 cases, 13 were multinodular type, 2 were mononodular type, and others were cystic type. Conclusion It is demonstrated that 32-slice SCT has great value in the diagnosis of nodular goiter.
