The aim of this study was to investigate thyroid T1
value in patients with hypothyroidism (HT). 21 untreated
females with clinical hypothyroidism (HT) and 21 healthy
control females underwent the thyroid T1 maps with
Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery technique at 3T
MR (Siemens TimTrio). All patients received
levothyroxine therapy and were followed after 6 months.
The results showed thyroid T1 value at 3T was
technically feasible and pretreatment thyroid T1 value
increase in HT patientscompared with normal woman.
After treatment, thyroid T1 value decreased. These
suggest T1 mapping may improve disease detection and
quantitatively monitor thyroid disease.
