A series of 63 patients with suspected adrenal disease was evaluated by computed tomography (CT). In 15 additional patients CT diagnosed unsuspected adrenal disease. The CT results were correlated with surgical, postmortem, or compelling clinical data. In those patients with adequate visualization of both adrenals, CT correctly identified all adrenal masses subsequently proven at surgery or postmortem examination. CT accurately predicted the presence or absence of a unilateral adrenal neoplasm in patients with Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism. Unsuspected primary or metastatic neoplasms of the adrenals were occasionally detected in patients scanned for other reasons. CT is a safe and accurate method of evaluating patients with suspected adrenal disease.
对63例疑似肾上腺疾病的患者进行了计算机断层扫描（CT）评估。另外15例患者经CT诊断出意外的肾上腺疾病。CT结果与手术、尸检或确凿的临床数据相关。在双侧肾上腺均能充分显影的患者中，CT正确识别了所有随后经手术或尸检证实的肾上腺肿块。CT准确预测了库欣综合征和原发性醛固酮增多症患者单侧肾上腺肿瘤的有无。在因其他原因进行扫描的患者中，偶尔会检测到意外的肾上腺原发性或转移性肿瘤。CT是评估疑似肾上腺疾病患者的一种安全、准确的方法。
