Adrenal tumours are frequently detected by conventional cross-sectional imaging, which, however, has limited specificity in identifying the most prevalent tumour type, benign, non-functional adrenocortical adenomas (ACA) not requiring surgery. We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of adrenal molecular imaging with [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and [123I]Iodometomidate-single photon emission tomography (IMTO-SPECT). We perfor...
