Abdominal ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Addison's disease associated with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) type 1 and type 2 (APS type 3 does not involve adrenal glands). Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Addison's disease include:[1][2]
- Irregularly shrunken adrenal glands
- Adrenal nodules
- Signs of calcium deposits
