Overview
There are no specific MRI findings associated with Addison's disease. While MRI is not capable of distinguishing between acute inflammatory and metastatic diseases of the adrenal glands, it may be equally efficacious as CT in suggesting the diagnosis of adrenal hemorrhage in patients with Addison's disease.
MRI
The following findings may be seen on an MRI in Addison's disease:[1]
- Adrenal hemorrhages
- Adrenal masses:
- Granulomatous disease
- Adrenal lymphoma
- Adrenal metastases
