MSCT (CT) of the adrenal gland

MSCT (CT) of the adrenal glands is a radiological method that uses a multislice CT device to provide a detailed view of the adrenal glands and surrounding structures. Since the adrenal glands regulate important hormonal functions, any change in their function can have a significant impact on health. A CT scan enables the timely detection of tumors, cysts, or other abnormalities.

When is MSCT of the adrenal glands recommended?

The examination is performed in cases of:

• suspected tumors or adenomas of the adrenal glands
• hormonal disorders
• detection of metastases in oncology patients
• monitoring the condition after surgery or tumor treatment
• unexplained abdominal diseases or blood pressure disorders caused by hormonal imbalance

Patient preparation

For MSCT of the adrenal glands, it is most often necessary to:

• not eat for several hours before the examination, especially if contrast is used
• inform the doctor about allergies to contrast agents and kidney diseases
• remove metal objects and jewelry before the examination

What does the examination look like?

The examination is quick and painless. The patient lies on the CT scanner table, and the scan takes only a few minutes. If contrast is administered, a temporary warmth may be felt in the body.

The report is prepared by a specialist radiologist and is available within a short time.
