title: [Clinical value of radionuclide imaging in the diagnosis of the adrenal cortex lesions].
abstract: Results of using radioisotopic visualization of the adrenal glands together with the hormonal profile determination ACTH, renin, aldosterone, cortisol) for the diagnosis of the adrenal gland affections are presented. Parameters of the scintigraphic appearance of the affected adrenal cortex were developed to distinguish six types of scintigraphic patterns of the adrenal gland, which were the most frequent. Clinical analysis of the results of the examination of patients indicated Conn's disease in 24 patients (it was verified during the operation), 12 had unilateral corticosteroma of the adrenal gland, 8 suffered from residual adrenal gland tissue, and 2 had metastases of malignant tumours of the adrenal glands. Accumulation of radiopharmaceutical preparations into the corpus luteum was revealed in one case.
