Popis:	Clinically, the development of highly accurate imaging techniques that define adrenal anatomy and give information concerning adrenal physiology have revolutionized our approach to adrenal disorders [1, 2]. These techniques complement the highly accurate hormonal analyses that lead to the diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, and pheochromocytoma. In addition, they help distinguish these entities from other adrenal disorders as well as other retroperitoneal processes. Thus, imaging techniques presently play a critical role in confirming the hormonal diagnosis and precisely localizing the specific adrenal lesion.
