[Abstract] Objective: To explore the diagnosis values of quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in thyroid lesions.Materials and Methods: According to the pathological results, the cases were divided into benign, malignant and normal groups. The differences of quantitative parameters of DCE between the three groups were analyzed.Results: A total of 22 patients were included in the analysis, including 5 benign lesions, 13 malignant lesions and 16 normal tissues. for transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep), the malignant lesions showed higher values than benign lesions, volume of extravascular extra-cellular space per unit volume of tissue (Ve) takes contrary results, but no significant differences was found.Conclusions: There is no significant difference in the quantitative parameters of DCE between benign and malignant thyroid lesions. The specific diagnostic value of DCE needs to expand the sample size for further detection.
