title: [Ultrasound diagnosis of adrenal gland diseases].
abstract: Diseases of the adrenal glands are detectable by means of ultrasound under the condition of an enlargement of the organs. Due to the different advantages, sonography remains the first choice of imaging techniques, though computer tomography still ist superior and most useful for interdisciplinary discussion. Possibilities and limitations of the ultrasound evaluation of the adrenal glands are discussed.
