The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of three advanced diffusion techniques (IVIM, DKI and DWI) which based on ZOOMit in demonstrating lesions in thyroid and parathyroid area. Results showed that D* in IVIM, MK in DKI and ADC in DWI were superior than other diffusion parameters (D, F in IVIM, MD in DKI) in accurately locating lesions as well as differentiating between lesions and normal thyroid parenchyma.
