Clinical significance of adrenal scintigraphy and computed tomography
- 1. Tokyo Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Medicine
Description
In 53 cases with adrenal diseases, we studied the clinical usefulness of the scintigrams (RI) using 131I-iodocholesterol or 131I-adosterol. RI was very useful clinically in the diagnosis of adrenal disease, including the suppression test. Computed tomography (CT) was also sensitive in the detection of adrenal tumor, although CT is slightly inferior to RI. However, considering the relatively high radiation dose and a long time to perform RI study. It is concluded that CT is the first choice in the detection of adrenal disease between RI and CT.
