Abstract
Distinguishing between amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) caused by excessive hormone synthesis (AIT-1) or by a destructive process (AIT-2) has important therapeutic implications, but is still difficult and debated. Tc-sestaMIBI thyroid scintigraphy (99m-STS) has been proposed as a tool for classifying the two forms.
