Role Of CT And MR Imaging In The Evaluation Of Adrenal Masses

Abstract

Finally, CT and MR remain the primary imaging modalities for characterization of adrenal lesions. Recently developed techniques may offer additional information. The value of other new functional imaging techniques has already been proven and such as diffusion weighted imaging and MR spectroscopy may play an important role in lesion characterization in the near future. These exciting techniques may soon to be routinely available and could potentially further obviate the need for adrenal biopsies that are performed in indeterminate cases.
