Iodine concentration (IC), total iodine content (TIC) and volume of normal thyroid lobe were calculated. Influences of sex, age and thyroid function indices on DECT-derived parameters in overall study population, subgroup patients with, and those without HT were assessed using Mann\u2013Whitney U test, Student\u2019s T-test, and Spearman correlation analyses, respectively, as appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>HT group showed significantly lower IC and TIC, while higher volume than No-HT group (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
