Adrenal Imaging and Intervention - 31/08/15
, Isaac R. Francis, MBBS bRésumé |

There are established morphologic criteria for both CT and MR imaging that can be used to assess whether an adrenal mass is benign or malignant, and whether follow-up, biopsy, or resection should be performed. In the setting of a known primary malignancy, CT, MR imaging, and PET can help differentiate most benign masses from metastasis.
