Distinction Between Adrenal Adenomas and Metastases Using MR Imaging

Distinction Between Adrenal Adenomas and Metastases Using MR Imaging Magnetic resonance imaging was performed on 12 patients with known neoplastic disease and adrenal masses shown by CT. Three patients with metastases had high signal intensity in the adrenals on T2 weighted spin echo scans (SE 2,500/80) and nine patients with nonfunctioning adenomas had low signal intensity on T2 weighted images. The ability to distinguish metastases from nonhyperfunctioning adrenal adenomas may be of use in the pre-operative evaluation in patients with known carcinoma and incidental adrenal masses. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging was performed on 12 patients with known neoplastic disease and adrenal masses shown by CT. Three patients with metastases had high signal intensity in the adrenals on T2 weighted spin echo scans (SE 2,500/80) and nine patients with nonfunctioning adenomas had low signal intensity on T2 weighted images. The ability to distinguish metastases from nonhyperfunctioning adrenal adenomas may be of use in the pre-operative evaluation in patients with known carcinoma and incidental adrenal masses.
