title: Radiology of the adrenal.
abstract: Adrenal incidentalomas are commonly noted on abdominal cross-sectional imaging studies. Most of these lesions are benign, non-functional adrenal adenomas. Certain adrenal lesions have such characteristic radiologic findings that their diagnosis can be made with virtual certainty. This article reviews the radiologic evaluation of adrenal tumors, with particular emphasis on incidentalomas.
