Ectopic thyroids have lower computed tomography attenuation values than orthotopic thyroids

ConclusionsEctopic thyroids have lower CT attenuation values than orthotopic thyroids probably due to the structural or functional abnormalities. The dysgenesis and pathological changes of the ectopic thyroids may contribute to functional deficiency which finally leads to decrease of the CT attenuation values.
