AbstractAbstract
[en] Adrenal scintiphotography by Nuclear-Chicago Pho Gamma III or Ohio-Nuclear 100 scinticamera was performed on the 7th, 8th and 9th day following the intravenous administration of 1 mCi of 131I-adosterol. The cases to studied were 10 cases of primary aldosteronism and 10 suspected, 4 cases of Cushings syndrome and 3 suspected, and 2 cases of pheochromocytoma and 11 suspected. The lesions were clearly demonstrated as hot spots, in all operatively verified cases of primary aldosteronism, Cushings syndrome, and pheochromocytoma, respectively. Normal adrenal glands were either normally visualized or not visualized. In primary aldosteronism, the lesions visualized ranged in size from 13 to 27 mm. In Cushings syndrome, the lesions visualized ranged in size from 20 to 38 mm. In pheochromocytoma, the lesions visualized were 40 mm in diameter. Adrenal scintiphotographic study is useful in detecting lesion and/or determining side of a lesion before the angiographic examination. (J.P.N.)
