Abstract

Gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging cannot enable prediction of histologic type in thyroid and parathyroid tumors. However, in cases of multiple tumors, the technique may improve the contrast between the different histologic types and sometimes suggest the diagnosis of primary thyroid lymphoma or parathyroid adenoma.
