[Potentials of nuclear magnetic resonance tomographic diagnosis of the adrenals. Initial experience using a Helmholtz surface coil].
In order to obtain optimum spatial resolution in the adrenal glands, images were obtained using Helmholtz surface coils and respiratory gating. In addition to normal controls, 9 patients with space-occupying lesions were examined (4 metastases, 3 adenomas, 2 phaeochromocytomas). It was found that tissue-specific appearances were associated only with phaeochromocytomas, depending on the high signal intensity on their T2 sequences.
