High-resolution imaging like CT and MRI are vital for adrenal gland anatomy. Functional imaging, including SPECT and PET, now integrates with anatomical data for comprehensive adrenal disease diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • High-resolution imaging (CT, MRI) revolutionized adrenal gland evaluation.
  • Biochemical assessment is crucial for diagnosing adrenal dysfunction.
  • Traditional scintigraphy has evolved significantly over two decades.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the evolving role of adrenal functional imaging.
  • To discuss the integration of advanced imaging modalities.
  • To highlight the diagnostic utility of SPECT and PET in adrenal diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of advancements in adrenal imaging techniques.
  • Discussion of radiopharmaceuticals targeting specific adrenal processes.
  • Integration of anatomical (CT, MRI) and functional (SPECT, PET) imaging.

Main Results:

  • SPECT and PET imaging depict adrenal pathophysiology with targeted tracers.
  • Combined PET/CT and SPECT/CT technologies merge anatomical and functional data.
  • Adrenal functional imaging has advanced from planar scintigraphy to tomographic techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced functional imaging (SPECT, PET) complements high-resolution anatomical imaging.
  • Integrated SPECT/CT and PET/CT redefine adrenal disease diagnosis.
  • A stepwise approach combining biochemical and advanced imaging is essential for patient care.
