A patient with clinical and biochemical evidence of Cushing's disease and severe hyperlipidemia underwent an adrenal imaging procedure with NP-59 (6 beta-[131I]iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol), without visualization of either gland. Correction of the hyperlipidemia followed by repeated adrenal imaging resulted in bilateral visualization. A pituitary tumor was removed at surgery, confirming the diagnosis of Cushing's disease.
一名患有库欣病临床及生化证据且伴有严重高脂血症的患者接受了用NP - 59（6β - [¹³¹I]碘甲基 - 19 - 去甲胆固醇）进行的肾上腺成像检查，结果双侧肾上腺均未显影。高脂血症得到纠正后再次进行肾上腺成像，双侧肾上腺均显影。手术切除了垂体肿瘤，证实为库欣病。
