Computed tomography in the diagnosis of adrenal disease. Abstract Text:

M Korobkin,E A White,H Y Kressel,A A Moss,J P Montagne,

A series of 63 patients with suspected adrenal disease was evaluated by computed tomography (CT). In 15 additional patients CT diagnosed unsuspected adrenal disease. The CT results were correlated with surgical, postmortem, or compelling clinical data. In those patients with adequate visualization of both adrenals, CT correctly identified all adrenal masses subsequently proven at surgery or postmortem examination. CT accurately predicted the presence or absence of a unilateral adrenal neoplasm in patients with Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism. Unsuspected primary or metastatic neoplasms of the adrenals were occasionally detected in patients scanned for other reasons. CT is a safe and accurate method of evaluating patients with suspected adrenal disease.
