title: Radiologic approach to adrenal lesions.
abstract: A large number of radiologic studies are currently (or will soon be) available for the evaluation of adrenal lesions. In any given set of clinical circumstances only selected studies will be necessary, and it is important that full clinical and laboratory evaluation be performed before proceeding to radiology, so that only the needed studies are performed. This approach will provide the highest degree of accuracy with the least risk and cost for the patient.
