Overview

MRI

MRI scans are helpful to visualize

  • Adrenal tumor mass.
  • Metastatic lesions
  • Adrenocortical carcinomas are usually large at diagnosis and appear heterogeneous on both T1- and T2-weighted images owing to the presence of internal hemorrhage and necrosis.
  • Adrenocortical carcinoma can contain foci of intracytoplasmic lipid, which results in a loss of signal intensity on out-of-phase images.
  • Large adrenal carcinomas tend to invade the adrenal vein and inferior vena cava.

MRI is also be used to differentiate adrenocortical carcinomas from adrenal adenomas.
