Abstract:
Adrenocortical scintigraphy provides information concerning cortical function that is not readily available by other means. The ability to map differential adrenal cortical function has great clinical utility and demonstrable cost-effectiveness in the evaluation of adrenocortical disease and in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions in patients with incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
