Prinsip, Teknik, dan Algoritma untuk Karakterisasi Pencitraan Lesi-Lesi Adrenal Incidentaloma

Adrenal Incidentaloma lesions are commonly detected by Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Lesion characterization is essential to predict the prognosis of the primary disease, to assess staging, and direct therapy. Imaging plays a critical role in the characterization of adrenal incidentaloma lesions. Imaging modalities have been developed forr accurately differentiating lesions by using anatomic and physiologic imaging principles and major adrenal imaging techniques currently available which include newly developed promising techniques. An imaging algorithm is provided to guide radiologists in recognizing, reporting, and managing adrenal lesions, so it leads to the appropriate test to make correct diagnosis. The purpose of this article is to discuss the principles, techniques and imaging algorithms in characterizing adrenal lesions.
