Table 4.

Summary of mean parameter values obtained from the extended Tofts model (ETM) and total tumor volume for patients with extrathyroidal extension (ETE) and without extrathyroidal extension.

Group	K^trans(min⁻¹)	v_e	v_p
With ETE (n = 7)	0.78 ± 0.28	0.30 ± 0.09	0.039 ± 0.034
Without ETE (n = 11)	0.34 ± 0.18	0.22 ± 0.10	0.025 ± 0.019
p value	0.005	0.12	0.11

The parameters v_p and v_e are dimensionless fractional volumes for plasma space and extracelluar extravascular space, respectively.

The reported values are mean ± standard deviation
