[Echographic study of the normal adrenal gland during development and in the adult]

An echographic study of the normal adrenal glands is realized on normal out patients, and anatomic slices. A comparison is made between echographic and anatomic images. This study demonstrates the image of the normal adrenal gland in the fetus, newborn and adult, and reveals a different echo pattern in the cortex (sonolucent) and the medulla (echogenic).
