[Magnetic resonance in the study of the adrenal glands].
Current usage of MR in the clinical study of adrenal pathology is assessed with a review of the advantages and limitations of this new imaging technique and a critical analysis of data deriving both from the literature and from personal experience. The possibility of a multiplanar study offered by MR permits a more accurate anatomical-topographical definition of the adrenal masses though it is not yet capable of the tissue characterisation that would diagnose the nature of the lesion, though it can differentiate between inert adenomas and metastases.
