Overview
The adrenal glands can be studied in ultrasound imaging and each abdominal ultrasound. Any new incidental mass, larger than 1cm should be evaluated with CT-scan or MRI.
Ultrasound
The adrenal glands can be studied in ultrasound imaging and each abdominal ultrasound scan of a child or adult should include the assessment of the suprarenal areas. Any new incidental mass, larger than 1cm should be evaluated with CT-scan or MRI. The modality is mainly used to detect adrenal masses. However, reduced vascularity or significant reduction is size might be evident in ultra-sonographies, conducted by skilled experts.[1] Adrenal atrophy is shown in the following figure:[2]
