Role of molecular imaging in management of nonhypersecreting adrenal masses.
Functional and symptomatic adrenal lesions are usually discovered through careful study of patient history and physical examination, prompting appropriate laboratory evaluation and diagnostic imaging. Less commonly, they are incidentally discovered during a diagnostic imaging procedure that leads to laboratory investigation. Surgical interventions are then indicated for unilateral aldosteronoma...
متن کاملPerioperative Cross-sectional Imaging
Development of electrocardiographically (ECG) gated multisection computed tomography (CT) has had a significant, immediate impact in cardiovascular imaging. The capabilities of this new technique have become particularly important in the preoperative assessment of the cardiac surgery patient. Cardiac surgery in the 21st century has become increasingly complex because of an aging population need...
متن کاملCharacterization of adrenal masses with diffusion-weighted imaging.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to assess the role of diffusion-weighted MRI in characterizing adrenal masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of the MRI database from August 2007 to July 2009 was performed. The MRI examinations of 48 patients, with 49 lesions, were reviewed independently and blindly by two experienced abdominal radiologists who measured the signal inten...
متن کاملImaging of Adrenal Masses with Emphasis on Adrenocortical Tumors
Because of the more widespread and frequent use of cross-sectional techniques, mainly computed tomography (CT), an increasing number of adrenal tumors are detected as incidental findings ("incidentalomas"). These incidentaloma patients are much more frequent than those undergoing imaging because of symptoms related to adrenal disease. CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are in most patients...
متن کاملAdvanced cross-sectional imaging techniques for the detection and characterization of renal masses
Incidentally detected renal masses are on the rise posing increasing demands on imaging for their characterization and management. These masses encompass both benign and malignant entities, many of which can be diagnosed with high confidence by cross-sectional imaging alone. Lesions can be predominantly cystic or solid and a key feature common to all malignant lesions is the presence of enhanci...
