title: Advances in CT assessment of metabolic and endocrine disorders.
abstract: Advances in diagnostic imaging of endocrine disorders are occurring rapidly. In certain disease entities, such as Cushing's disease, pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism, and islet cell tumors, noninvasive imaging techniques like CT have become the initial diagnostic imaging procedures of choice. In other disorders, such as hyperparathyroidism, carcinoid, and thyroid disease, CT is making important contributions, and further advances can be anticipated.
