Abstract:
Abdominal CT screenings for adrenal glands of 202 patients without suspected adrenal diseases were observed and discussed. Measurements and statistical analyses of the length, width, thickness and area of adrenal alands from the screenings were done. Showing that the adrenal thickness and the maximum area in the slice are most valuable. When the thickness of adrenal gland is more than 10 mm and the area of the left one is larger than 3.5cm2 or the right one is larger than 3cm2, the gland should be considered to be abnormal. This measurement could be useful in the diagnosis of early adrenal diseases.
