title: The incidental nonhyperfunctioning adrenal mass: an imaging algorithm for characterization.
abstract: Nonhyperfunctioning adrenal lesions such as cysts, myelolipomas, adrenal haemorrhage, adenoma and metastases are described. Definitive imaging features that help characterize adrenal cysts, myelolipomas and adrenal haemorrhage are illustrated and the differentiation of benign from malignant adrenal lesions using an algorithmic approach based on lipid sensitive imaging is provided.
