MR imaging of the adrenal neoplasms.
The most commonly encountered adrenal mass is the non-hyperfunctioning adrenal adenoma. Chemical-shift MR imaging can detect and characterize these adrenal masses as benign but cannot distinguish between hypersecreting and nonhypersecreting adrenal adenomas. Because of its direct multiplanar capability and superb soft tissue contrast, MR imaging can detect and potentially characterize other adrenal neoplasms.
