Risk calculators and risk factors for Thyroid nodule MRI

MRI is not a good choice for cervical lymph node metastases evaluation as its sensitivity is low (30-40%), but as an alternative imaging modalitiy, may be useful in the assessment of tumors with the following features:

  • Large tumors
  • Rapidly growing tumors
  • Retrosternal tumors
  • Invasive tumors
    • To assess the involvement of extrathyroidal tissues
