Background:
We retrospectively analyzed the MSCT and MRI findings of three cases of juxta-adrenal schwannoma and reviewed literature.
Methods And Results:
Three patients were male, and showed no signs for endocrine activity. The three cases of juxta-adrenal schwannoma were all well-circumscribed, oval masses with cystic components, and one case with hemorrhage. Hypointense signal capsules were observed on T2-weighted images in two cases, and the capsule in one case showed rim enhancement. The tumors displayed mild enhancement in the arterial phase and progressive enhancement during the portal venous phase and equilibrium phase. Computed tomography angiography clearly showed the tumor feeding vessels arising from the abdominal aorta.
Conclusions:
MSCT and MRI are valuable imaging modalities for diagnosis of juxta-adrenal schwannoma.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
