title: Magnetic resonance: evaluation of adrenal lesions.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging provides a detailed display of adrenal anatomy. The development of new imaging sequences, especially chemical shift imaging, has vastly enhanced the specificity of magnetic resonance imaging. This review outlines current magnetic resonance imaging strategies for assessing disease affecting the adrenal glands. Particular emphasis is placed on the characterization of adrenal masses.
