CTICasesAmiodarone pulmonary and hepatic toxicity
Imaging findings
CT shows focal, dense, high-attenuation consolidations in the peripheral lungs in an organizing pneumonia pattern, along with a hyperdense liver.
Key takeaways
Amiodarone is an iodine-rich drug that accumulates in tissue macrophages. Amiodarone toxicity presents as high-density (hyperattenuating) consolidations on CT, often accompanied by a hyperdense liver (>70 HU) due to drug accumulation.
