title: [Ultrasonographic evaluation of adrenal masses].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify the diagnostic value of ultrasonography on adrenal masses.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospectively analyzed the ultrasonographic features of 116 patients who suffered from adrenal masses, which were verified histologically after operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of all patients, the correct rate of localization and determination is 94.8% and 93.6%, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ultrasonography can be considered as an accurate means of scanning adrenal masses.
