Many disorders commonly affect various organs of the endocrine system. The nuclear medicine physician and radiologist must be aware of the manifestations of these disorders that may be detected on structural imaging modalities. In this article, we provide a brief review of the advantages and disadvantages of CT, MR imaging, and ultrasonography. We then discuss the role of these structural imaging modalities in the evaluation of disorders affecting the endocrine organs. In particular, we focus our review on imaging evaluation of the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland, the parathyroid glands, and the adrenal gland. Specific examples of some of the disease entities affecting these organs are also reviewed.
许多病症通常会影响内分泌系统的各个器官。核医学医师和放射科医生必须了解这些病症在结构成像模态上可能检测到的表现。在本文中，我们简要回顾了CT、磁共振成像（MR成像）和超声检查的优缺点。然后，我们讨论这些结构成像模态在评估影响内分泌器官的病症中的作用。特别是，我们的综述重点关注垂体、甲状腺、甲状旁腺和肾上腺的成像评估。还对一些影响这些器官的疾病实体的具体例子进行了综述。
