Two biproducts of the revolution in diagnostic imaging techniques are unintended discoveries, and uncertainty for the patient and the clinician. To address the uncertainty associated with adrenal incidentalomas, clinicians need to understand the definition, differential diagnosis, and options for assessment with respect to functional status and malignancy potential. This article presents an algorithmic approach that addresses these issues.
诊断成像技术革命带来的两个副产品是意外发现，以及患者和临床医生面临的不确定性。为了解决与肾上腺偶发瘤相关的不确定性，临床医生需要了解其定义、鉴别诊断，以及在功能状态和恶性潜能方面的评估选项。本文提出了一种解决这些问题的算法方法。
