The small size of the adrenal gland belies its critical importance in medicine. Imaging of the adrenal gland has made tremendous strides in the last decade as new technologies continue to evolve. For the first time, the current state of knowledge available concerning imaging of the adrenal gland, into a single volume. In order for this text to offer widespread appeal and for completeness, it important to solicit current adrenal insights from medical disciplines other than imaging experts.
These contributions are designed to be both independent (i.e. can be read on their own) and also be complementary to the remainder of the chapters. To allow this independence, specific information has been re-emphasized across different chapters according to the individual authors’ different perspectives. The individual chapters and the complete text will serve as relevant and up-to-date references of adrenal gland imaging for both radiologists and non-radiologists (particularly oncologists, surgeons and endocrinologists), and will be helpful to physicians in practice and in training, and indeed to all interested in the adrenal glands.
