【摘要】 <正>We report three cases of amiodarone-induced hepatotoxicity in patients on long-term oral amiodarone therapy who underwent dual-energy computed tomography (DECT).Liver enzymes were increased in these three patients,and abdominal DECT without contrast medium showed highly increased attenuation in the liver.Furthermore,the iodine concentration in the liver was increased.Measurement of iodine concentration with DECT is a potentially noninvasive method for the quantitative evaluation of liver damage in patients receiving long-term amiodarone therapy.更多还原
