Overview
MRI
The following findings may be seen on MRI in Addison's disease:[1]
- Adrenal hemorrhages
- Adrenal masses:
- Granulomatous disease
- Adrenal lymphoma
- Adrenal metastases
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.
