Abstract

The normal anatomy, physiology, and embryology of the adrenal glands is discussed. We then describe the use of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging for normal adrenal imaging followed by a discussion of anomalies of adrenal shape, position, and size (including adrenal hyperplasia). Imaging characteristics of adrenal masses are presented including adrenal hemorrhage, medullary neoplasms (neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, pheochromocytoma), adrenocortical neoplasms (adenoma, carcinoma), and other adrenal masses (leiomyoma, myolipoma). Finally adrenal cysts and abscesses are then described.
