Figure 2 T2-weighted iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least squares estimation (IDEAL-T2WI) water imaging of neck delineated the region of interest (ROI) for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), encompassing the thyroid (red arrow), sternocleidomastoid muscle (yellow arrow), trachea (orange arrow), and subcutaneous fat (green arrow), all within the same plane.
