This clinical review explores adrenal incidentalomas, masses, and pathologies through a comprehensive evaluation of molecular imaging modalities. Molecular imaging is important in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of adrenal gland lesions and masses. Targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies, 131I-MIBG and 177Lu-DOTATATE (Lutathera), and newer theranostic agents can provide personalized treatment plans for patients. This review discusses molecular imaging based on adrenal tumor biology, receptor expression, and genetic mutations, the imaging characteristics of common adrenal lesions, and current and future therapeutic treatments.

Fundamental Principles of PET
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

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...
