Figure 7 99mTc-Methoxy-2-Isobutylisonitrile (MIBI) washout rates (WR) in patients visually categorized in the amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis groups (AIT-1, AIT-2, AIT-3) and the control group. There were no significant differences in the WR between patients in groups AIT-1, AIT-2 and AIT-3 and the control group. Results are presented as median, interquartile ranges and absolute ranges (P>0.05) (MedCalc Software, version 20.021, Mariakerke, Belgium).
