Magnetic resonance imaging of the adrenal glands.

In this article, the authors provide a discussion of how magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to image the adrenal glands, how the glands appear on MR images, and what pathology can be detected at present. Although experience with MRI of the adrenal glands is still limited, the authors anticipate a promising future for the technique in this area because of its lack of ionizing radiation and its ability to easily demonstrate blood vessels.
