[...]. Amiodarone Hepatotoxicity. CTICases. Published May 9, 2019. https://str-case-explorer.pages.dev/c/wnfkd
Imaging findings
CT of the upper abdomen/chest demonstrates a diffuse, markedly increased attenuation of the liver parenchyma (extremely bright liver) and thyroid, characteristic of amiodarone deposition.
Key takeaways
Amiodarone is an iodine-rich antiarrhythmic medication that accumulates in the liver and thyroid, causing increased CT attenuation (hyperdensity). It can be associated with hepatotoxicity and thyroid dysfunction.
