Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].
OR
[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
CT scan
CT scan of the abdomen may be helpful in the diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS). Findings on CT scan suggestive of adrenal insufficiency as seen in APS include:
- Small adrenal remnants bilaterally suggestive of autoimmune adrenalitis.
- Chronic cases of APS may have dense calcification in one or both adrenal beds.
- Atrophic adrenal glands - in idiopathic autoimmune Addison's disease.
- Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) may be helpful in the diagnosis of hypopparathyroidism.[1][2]
- Findings on pQCT scan suggestive of hypoparathyroidism include:
- Increase in volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of both cortical and trabecular bones.
- Increase in bone mineral density (BMD) of both cortical and trabecular bones.
