Abstract
It has already been shown that radiographic contrast media (RCM) can produce modifications of the thyroid metabolism. It is generally assumed that thyroid hormone secretion remains constant whatever the fluctuations in iodine supply. Hyperthyroidism when induced by RCM administration is accompanied by changes of the levels of circulating thyroid hormones [2].
