ICA/ICv (a, e), NICA/NICV (b, f), ZeffA/ZeffV (c, g), and λHUA/λHUV (d, h) of metastatic and nonmetastatic lymph nodes in PTC patients with HT and without HT. All p values except λHUV between LN + and LN − in HT + patients are greater than 0.05. PTC, papillary thyroid cancer; HT, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; HT+, PTC with HT; HT−, PTC without HT; LN+, metastatic lymph nodes; LN-, nonmetastatic LNs. ICA/ICv, iodine concentration in arterial/venous phase; NICA/NICV, normalized ICA/ICv; ZeffA/ZeffV, effective atomic number in arterial/venous phase; and λHUA/λHUV, slope of the spectral Hounsfield unit curve in arterial/venous phase
