Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the most common endocrine tumor, often spreads to cervical lymph nodes metastasis (CLNM). Preoperative diagnosis of CLNM is important when selecting surgical strategies. Therefore, we aimed to explore the effectiveness of quantitative parameters of contrast-enhance...
