The osteopontin expression and microvascular density in thyroid cancer, comparison of CT and ultrasound in diagnosis of thyroid cancer and correlations of CT features and thyroid cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: The levels of osteopontin and microvascular density were increased in thyroid cancer. CT examination may be of higher diagnostic value in diagnosis of thyroid cancer compared with ultrasound. Irregular shape, unclear boundary, calcified foci and uneven density/echo were independent risk factors for the CT imaging diagnosis of thyroid cancer.
