Applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to the adrenal gland have received considerable attention in recent years. Using high field strength magnets and surface coil technology, images of normal and abnormal adrenal glands have been obtained that compare favorably, and in some instances excel, computed tomography (CT) with respect to both image quality and, to a greater degree, differentiation of pathology. This article reviews the current state of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of normal and abnormal adrenal glands, compares MR with CT imaging, and indicates where NMR spectroscopy has been of greatest value to date in the study of adrenal gland disease.
近年来，核磁共振（NMR）在肾上腺方面的应用受到了广泛关注。利用高场强磁体和表面线圈技术，已获得正常和异常肾上腺的图像，这些图像在图像质量以及在更大程度上对病变的鉴别方面，与计算机断层扫描（CT）相比具有优势，在某些情况下甚至更胜一筹。本文综述了正常和异常肾上腺磁共振（MR）成像的现状，将MR与CT成像进行了比较，并指出了迄今为止NMR光谱在肾上腺疾病研究中最具价值的方面。
