  • Thyroid nodules are now among the most frequent thyroid lesions, with a yearly rise in detection rates due to advancements in clinical diagnostic procedures and the widespread use of physical examinations. A non-invasive imaging assessment is crucial to the preoperative diagnosis of this condition. Dual-energy CT is a valuable addition to standard CT because it uses X-ray radiation from two distinct energy spectrums to offer a range of pictures with varied characteristics for the identification of thyroid nodules. This study provides an overview of dual-energy CT's multi-parameter imaging and basic principles. In order to generate ideas for the clinical application and future research of dual-energy CT in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, the value of dual-energy CT in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and evaluation of lymph node metastasis in patients with thyroid nodules, as well as other potential application values, are reviewed concurrently.
