The adrenal gland: radiologic-pathologic correlation.
The adrenal glands are affected by complex physiologic and neoplastic processes. Recently described computed tomography densitometry and chemical shift MR imaging techniques are useful to distinguish between benign and malignant masses. Knowledge of the basic gross pathologic and histologic correlates of adrenal disease helps in applying these new imaging methods and in understanding established cross-sectional studies.
