Multispiral Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Adrenal Incidentalomas

Many years of experience in identifying patients with various pathologies of the adrenal glands using multispiral computed tomography are presented. Multispiral CT is a highly informative method of choice in the diagnosis of adrenal tumors. Multispiral CT in the perfusion version of the tumor of the...
