[Ultrasonographic evaluation of adrenal masses].
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.
