The following situations:

-Differential diagnosis of etiology of thyrotoxicosis in patients with ambiguous clinical findings and/or contraindicated (eg, pregnant or breast-feeding) or nondiagnostic thyroid radioisotope scans

-Diagnosis of clinically suspected Graves disease (GD) (eg, extrathyroidal manifestation of GD include endocrine exophthalmos, pretibial myxedema, thyroid acropachy) in patients with normal thyroid function tests

-Determining the risk of neonatal thyrotoxicosis in a fetus of a pregnant female with active or past active GD
