Objective To analyze the value of CT in the differential diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer and small nodules small nodular goiter. Methods A retrospective analysis of our hospital from January 2010 to July 2014 after surgery and pathologically confirmed thyroid small nodules (diameter 0.5-1.0cm) 190 patients (total 285) of the CT data, in accordance with the pathological findings points papillary thyroid carcinoma tiny (Papillary thyroid micro carcinoma, PTMC) group and the tiny nodular goiter (Micro nodular goiters, MNG) group, the general comparison of the two groups of patients with CT signs and different parts of the CT values. Results PTMC CT findings in solitary nodules, tumors irregular, fuzzy boundaries after enhancement, fine granular calcifications and edge interrupt levy significantly higher than the MNG, mixed calcification was significantly lower than MNG, P<0.01. Left PTMC group, the right lobe volume was significantly smaller than MNG, isthmus volume and nodule volume was significantly greater than the MNG, P<0.01; PTMG group of glands and nodules unenhanced, enhanced no significant difference in the CT values and MNG group, P> 0.05. Conclusion CT has a certain value in papillary thyroid cancer and nodules tiny tiny differential diagnosis of nodular goiter.
