Contrast enhanced ultrasound for imaging of adrenal masses

Aim: The number of incidentally discovered adrenal masses is growing due to the increased use of modern high resolution imaging techniques. However, the characterization and differentiation between benign and malignant adrenal lesions is challenging. This study aimed to evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for characterization of adrenal masses. Materials and methods: 58 patients with adrenal masses detected on CT/MR or ultrasound were included. 7 patients had bilateral adrenal lesions. All ultrasound examinations were performed using high-resolution ultrasound (3.5–7MHz). The contrast enhancement patter…
