  • mr imaging of the kidneys and Adrenal Glands
    Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2003
    Co-Authors: Amir H Davarpanah, Gary M Israel
    Abstract:

    MR imaging has proven to be a versatile modality in evaluation of the kidneys, collecting system, and Adrenal Glands. By performing a comprehensive MR examination, it is not only possible to accurately characterize cystic and solid lesions of the kidneys, as well as urothelial masses, but also to provide important preoperative information to the surgeon. In addition, MR imaging can characterize many Adrenal lesions and can frequently obviate biopsy. The continued development and growth of MR technology combined with the current trend toward minimally invasive surgery will expand the role of MR imaging in the future.

  • Magnetic resonance imaging of the Adrenal Glands.
    Seminars in ultrasound CT and MR, 2005
    Co-Authors: Nomdo S. Renken, Gabriel P. Krestin
    Abstract:

    Differentiation of pathologic alterations of the Adrenal Glands is still a frequent and challenging problem of daily practice in radiology. Two main groups of patients have to be differentiated: those with clinical symptoms, mainly of endocrinopathies, and those in which a mass of the Adrenal gland is detected incidentally. In the first group, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a minor role, although it allows to detect and often even differentiate the cause of the disease. In the second group, MRI has an excellent performance in differentiating between adenomas and non-adenomatous lesions of the Adrenal Glands.

  • Imaging of the Adrenal Glands
    Functional and Morphological Imaging of the Endocrine System, 2000
    Co-Authors: Lukas C. Van Dijk, Gabriel P. Krestin
    Abstract:

    The Adrenal Glands are composed of the cortex and the medulla. The cortex develops from the mesoderm and consists of three layers: from outside inwards the zona glomerulosa producing mineralocorticoids, zona fasciculata producing glucocorticoids and zona reticularis producing androgens. The medulla develops from ectodermal cells of the neural crest. These sympathie chromaffine cells invade the cortex of the Adrenal gland and form the catecholamines producing medulla.

  • FDOPA Patterns in Adrenal Glands: A Pictorial Essay.
    Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2017
    Co-Authors: A. Moreau, David Kryza, Claire Bournaud-salinas, T. Mognetti, Françoise Borson-chazot, Patrick Combemale, Jean Christophe Lifante, Francesco Giammarile, Anne Laure Giraudet, Claire Houzard
    Abstract:

    : F-FDOPA is a well-established tool to explore pheochromocytomas. It tends to replace I-MIBG scan in metastatic pheochromocytomas, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2-related tumors, succinate dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur subunit-negative tumors, and succinate dehydrogenase[ZERO WIDTH SPACE]-positive lesions. To our knowledge, no study has characterized physiological and pathological Adrenal Glands with F-FDOPA from a quantitative point of view. We report the features of different normal and pathological Adrenal Glands with F-FDOPA. Within our series, only pheochromocytomas present a significantly increased uptake reflecting the high specificity of this tracer. Tumors such as adenomas or myelolipomas present no F-FDOPA significant accumulation. Interestingly, Adrenal gland hyperplasia and solitary Glands do not demonstrate compensatory uptake.

  • Detection of the Adrenal Glands by endoscopic or transabdominal ultrasound.
    Endoscopy, 1997
    Co-Authors: Christoph F. Dietrich, Till Wehrmann, C. Hoffmann, G. Herrmann, Wolfgang F. Caspary, Hans Seifert
    Abstract:

    Background and Study Aims: The value of transabdominal and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in detecting normal Adrenal Glands is not yet established. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether these techniques can be routinely used to visualize the Adrenal Glands in patients without suspected Adrenal pathology. Patients and Methods: Transabdominal ultrasound was validated by examination of 10 corpses and was performed in 80 healthy volunteers (3.5 and 5 MHz). EUS of the left Adrenal gland was performed in 154 consecutive patients referred for various other reasons. In 20 patients we attempted to visualize the right Adrenal gland as well. Results: Both Adrenal Glands were correctly identified in all of the 10 corpses once they were opened. In healthy volunteers, the right Adrenal gland was visualized by transabdominal ultrasound in 79/80 patients (99%) and the left Adrenal gland in 55/80 patients (69%). EUS allowed detection of the left Adrenal gland in 151/154 patients (98%). In three patients EUS failed because of grossly distorted anatomy. In 6/20 patients we were also able to detect the right Adrenal gland by EUS, which was obvious in two cases because of incidentalomas. Conclusion: Visualization of the right Adrenal gland is almost always possible by transabdominal ultrasound, while its detection by EUS is successful only in some cases. The left gland is more difficult to detect by transabdominal ultrasound, while it can nearly always be seen using EUS. Therefore, a combined transabdominal and endoscopic ultrasonographic approach is useful for visualization of the Adrenal Glands and may enable diagnosis of even small Adrenal masses.
