Thirty-eight MRT examinations were carried out in 35 patients who, between them, had 19 abnormalities in the adrenal glands. These included ten adenomas, three metastases, two carcinomas, two phaeochromocytomas, and two primary retroperitoneal tumours. MRT provides images of normal and abnormal adrenal glands which are equivalent to those of CT, with the exception that it cannot demonstrate calcification. Using a ratio of signal intensity from the adrenal tumours and the liver on T2-weighted images, it is usually possible to differentiate adenomas from metastases, carcinomas or phaeochromocytomas. The increased specificity of MRT is valuable in the investigation of patients with asymptomatic enlargement of the adrenal glands.
对35例患者进行了38次磁共振成像（MRT）检查，这些患者肾上腺共有19处异常。其中包括10例腺瘤、3例转移瘤、2例癌、2例嗜铬细胞瘤和2例原发性腹膜后肿瘤。MRT提供的正常和异常肾上腺图像与CT图像相当，不同之处在于它无法显示钙化。利用T2加权图像上肾上腺肿瘤与肝脏的信号强度比，通常可以区分腺瘤与转移瘤、癌或嗜铬细胞瘤。MRT特异性的提高对无症状肾上腺增大患者的检查很有价值。
