Background:

Adrenal gland abnormalities require accurate diagnostic imaging.
Various lesions, including tumors and hyperplasia, affect the adrenal glands.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe cross-sectional imaging of the adrenal glands.
To present examples of common and significant adrenal lesions.
To review diagnostic procedures for adrenal abnormalities.

Main Methods:

Review of cross-sectional imaging techniques (CT, ultrasonography, radionuclide scintigraphy, angiography).
Analysis of clinical diagnosis and radiologic findings for adrenal lesions.
Evaluation of noninvasive and invasive diagnostic procedures.

Main Results:

Examples of pheochromocytoma, bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, aldosteronoma, and metastasis are presented.
Radiologic findings associated with these and other adrenal lesions are discussed.
The utility of various imaging modalities in diagnosing adrenal abnormalities is analyzed.

Conclusions:

Cross-sectional imaging is crucial for characterizing adrenal lesions.
A combination of imaging techniques and clinical data aids diagnosis.
Understanding the value of different procedures enhances diagnostic accuracy for adrenal abnormalities.
