title: [Role of magnetic resonance imaging in the complex radiation diagnosis of hormonally active adrenal tumors].
abstract: Based on the results of examination of 30 patients with hormonally active adrenal tumors, the authors consider the MRI sympatomatology of their different types and the potentialities of the technique in the complex radiation diagnosis of this pathology. The authors present their assessments of the relative intensity of a signal and the structure of each type of hormone-producing tumors of the glands by using different MRI pulse sequences that may be useful in establishing a presumptive morphological diagnosis. They identify MRI sequences that are of the greatest informative value for the diagnosis of each type of hormonally active adrenal tumors. There is evidence for that MRI is highly effective in detecting all types of hormonally active adrenal tumors and, in the context of their topographic and anatomic diagnosis, has an unquestionable advantage over ultrasonography and X-ray computed tomography in some cases.
