    Thyroid nodules have a prevalence of approximately 67%, with a malignancy rate ranging from 10% to 15%.

  • 2

    Accurate differentiation between benign and malignant thyroid nodules is essential for appropriate treatment planning.

  • 3

    Dual-energy CT (DECT) provides advanced imaging capabilities, enabling better characterization of thyroid nodules compared to conventional CT.

  • 4

    The study aims to develop a DECT radiomics model to enhance the preoperative prediction of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

  • 5

    Combining quantitative parameters with radiomics features in DECT imaging may improve diagnostic accuracy for thyroid nodules.
