[Information provided by X-ray computed tomography in adrenal pathology].
After a brief review of the circumstances in which CT scan of the adrenal glands may be carried out, the following are discussed: the role of CT scan in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, in functional pathology of the cortex (hyperplasia or tumor) and the problem of incidentalomas. CT scan, a simple examination with immediate and reliable results, enables percutaneous biopsy to be carried out with complete safety.
