Usefulness of adrenal venography and iodocholesterol scan in adrenal surgery.
Adrenal scintiscanning and venography with sampling of adrenal venous blood are valuable methods to localize adrenal cortical lesions of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism. Adrenal scintiscanning with dexamethasone suppression is most useful in differentiating adenoma from hyperplasia of primary aldosteronism.
