Abstract Purpose Radioiodine therapy (RIT) of benign thyroid diseases is an established therapy. This study aimed to identify factors predictive for outcome in patients with non-toxic goiter (NTG), unifocal (UFA), multifocal (MUFA) or diffuse autonomy (DISA) and Graves’ disease (GD). Methods Retrospective analysis of 205 patients with benign thyroid disease (54 NTG, 46 MUFA, 24 DISA, 26 UFA, 55 GD) who underwent RIT. Follow up time was 12 months for determining treatment outcome. Results The type of disease was predictive for volume reduction after 12 months (NTS 66%, DISA 67%, MUFA 58%, UFA 51%, GD 71%, p
