Inter-observer agreement was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs).ResultsDECT showed significantly higher accuracy than US in pT evaluation (0.754 vs. 0.628; <i>P</i> < 0.001). DECT showed slightly higher accuracy than US in pN evaluation (0.662 vs. 0.652; <i>P</i> = 0.250). Combining DECT and US led to higher accuracy than US alone for both pT (0.655 vs. 0.628; <i>P</i> = 0.004) and pN (0.686 vs 0.652; <i>P</i> = 0.001) evaluation, specifically in T3b tumors (odds ratio [OR] 2.024; <i>P</i> = 0.043), T4 tumors (OR 8.125; <i>P</i> = 0.005), and N1b nodules (OR 2.027; <i>P</i> = 0.045). Combining DECT and US was associated with 95% higher odds of accuracy than US alone in AJCC 8th Stage II evaluation (OR 10.000; <i>P</i> = 0.041).ConclusionCombining DECT and US can improve US evaluation of pT and pN of PTC and the identification of Stage II PTC.</p>","PeriodicalId":7143,"journal":{"name":"Acta radiologica","volume":" ","pages":"831-840"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148817050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
