Retrospective study of BRAF^V600E mutation and CT features of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to examine the correlation between BRAF^V600E status and computed tomography (CT) imaging characteristics in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and determine if suspicious CT imaging features could predict BRAF^V600E status.

Methods

This retrospective study included patients with pathologically confirmed PTC at the Department of Thyroid Surgery of Zhongshan Hospital, Xiamen University, between July 2020 and June 2022. We compared the clinicopathologic factors and CT findings of nodules with and without the mutation, and the multiple logistical regression test was used to determine independent parameters of the BRAF^V600E mutation.

Results

This study included 381 patients with PTC, among them, BRAF^V600E
