Abstract

Background: Computed tomography (CT) histogram analysis and chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are currently used modalities for adrenal mass characterization. However, it is not yet clear which modality can be regarded as most sensitive in terms of adrenal mass characterization.
