Comparison of ultrasonography and CT for preoperative nodal assessment of patients with papillary thyroid cancer: diagnostic performance according to primary tumor size.

CONCLUSION: CT is superior to US for detecting central LNM in preoperative patients with PTCs > 1 cm. However, there are no benefits to adding CT to US to predict lateral LNM in small cancers (≤1 cm). PMID: 31084186 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
