PPT-Adrenal imaging (Part 1): Imaging techniques and primary cortical lesions

Adrenal glands can be affected by a variety of lesions Adrenal lesions can either be primary of adrenal origin or secondary to other pathologies Primary adrenal lesions can further be either of cortical or medullary origin Functioning adrenal lesions can also give clues to the histologic diagnosis and direct workup Over the years various imaging techniques have been developed that have increased diagnostic accuracy and helped in better characterization of adrenal lesions noninvasively In the first part of the two part series we review adrenal imaging techniques and adrenal cortical tumors such as adenomas adrenocortical tumors adrenal hyperplasia and oncocytomas.

AI is a medical condition in which the adrenal glands cannot produce glucocorticoid hormone Cortisol. Cortisol is needed for the body to maintain normal energy supply, fluid and electrolyte balance, blood pressure, blood sugar and the body’s reaction to physical stress such as illness or injury..
