Radionuclide imaging of the adrenal cortex.
Adrenocortical scintigraphy provides information concerning cortical function that is not readily available by other means. The ability to map differential adrenal cortical function has great clinical utility and demonstrable cost-effectiveness in the evaluation of adrenocortical disease and in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions in patients with incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
