Adrenal gland imaging with multiplane tomography.
Multiplane tomography can be employed successfully to image the adrenal glands after the intravenous administration of 6 beta-131I-iodomethyl-19-nor cholest-5(10)-en-3 beta-ol (NP-59). The tomographic display allows separation of the adrenal glands from other organs that often obscure the adrenal image when gamma cameras are used and the depth of the adrenal glands may be determined without obtaining lateral views.
