Incidental adrenal neoplasms are usually nonfunctioning benign adenomas. Once hormonal production has been assessed, the nonsecreting lesions must be evaluated for the possibility of malignancy. This evaluation relies primarily on the radiographic characteristics. This article focuses on the current state of radiologic technology available to accurately assess nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas. As this technology advances, a lesion's malignant potential can more accurately be determined, thereby allowing physicians to make more informed treatment recommendations.
肾上腺偶发瘤通常是无功能的良性腺瘤。一旦评估了激素分泌情况，对于无分泌功能的病变必须评估其恶变的可能性。该评估主要依赖于影像学特征。本文重点介绍目前可用于准确评估无功能肾上腺偶发瘤的放射学技术现状。随着这项技术的进步，可以更准确地确定病变的恶性潜能，从而使医生能够做出更明智的治疗建议。
