...suppose you find the gland swollen, painlessly, but neither obvious thyrotoxicosis nor myxedema. How can you tell whether the patient has a diffuse nontoxic goiter, a mild toxic goiter with no eye signs, or a viral thyroiditis somehow free of pain... More clues, aside from palpation: the key to quiescent toxic goiter could be nonsuppressibility of the uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland.
