Introduction: Purpose of this study is to find a radiological score and to correlate radiological characteristics of adrenal adenomas and functional parameters to predict subclinical glucocorticoid secretion.Methods and materials: This retrospective study included 55 patients with adenomas, investigated through CT with adrenal protocol assessing diameters, HU values of the unenhanced and contrast enhanced phases (enhanced–E, and 15 min delayed enhan...

Computerized tomography (CT) texture analysis (TA) provides a valuable amount of quantitative data on single voxels and their relationship in a target lesions, giving additional value to the CT scan. CTTA has been applied to several oncologic diseases. We aimed to correlate the data derived from CTTA of pheochromocytoma to clinical, biochemical and histopathological data in 30 consecutive patients. Pheochromocytoma was confirmed at histology. The CTTA was performed on unenhanc...

Background: Chronic glucocorticoids excess leads to morphological and functional cardiac alterations, a substrate for arrhythmias. Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) from adrenal incidentalomas is a model of chronic endogenous hypercortisolism, leading to severe cardiovascular diseases.Aim: To investigate prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation in a large cohort of patients with adrenal incidentalomas and ACS.Methods: Afte...
