2. 1. Incidentally detected adrenal lesions - radiological aspects

   Author : Lilian Hammarstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Incidental finding; Adrenal incidentaloma; Adrenal Gland Neoplasm; Computed Tomography; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Follow-up Studies; Oncology; Observer variation; Phantom Studies;

   Abstract : Incidentally detected adrenal lesions (“adrenal incidentalomas”) have become a growing clinical problem due to increased and refined radiology methods. Autopsy studies show frequencies as high as 7-8% in the elderly. A large part of such lesions give no health problems but some can be related to hormone overproduction or malignant disease.

4. 2. Improved adrenocortical PET imaging

   Author : Isabella Silins; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Gunnar Antoni; Anders Sundin; Azita Monazzam; Håkan Geijer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Introduction: Adrenal tumours can either be benign or malignant, hormone secreting or not, and they can be discovered through clinical examination of the patient or by pure chance. Increased knowledge in the area, plus the widespread use of imaging techniques, have resulted in a rising number of patients with adrenal tumours that subsequently need to be diagnosed.

5. 3. Nuclear medicine imaging and treatment in pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and role of the new tracer 11C-hydroxy ephedrine in diabetes mellitus

   Author : Achyut Ram Vyakaranam; Anders Sundin; Elin Trägårdh; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 11C-HED; PRRT; TCTTV; Non-Invasive imaging; symapthetic innervation; pheochromocytoma; paraganglioma; NETs; RECIST 1.1; Oncology; Onkologi; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology;

   Abstract : Carbon-11 hydroxy ephedrine (11C-HED) is a norepinephrine analog which binds to the norepinephrine receptor present in adrenal medulla, lung, liver and pancreas. 11C-HED-positron emission tomography with concomitant computed tomography (PET/CT) can image these organs. READ MORE

6. 4. Clinical Studies on Adrenocortical Tumours using  [11C]-metomidate Positron Emission Tomography

   Author : Joakim Hennings; Per Hellman; Bo Wängberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

   Abstract : Adrenal tumours, discovered en passant in patients undergoing radiological examinations for non-adrenal disease, so-called adrenal incidentalomas, have increased dramatically in the recent era of more sophisticated diagnostic modalities such as high resolution multidetector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, primary aldosteronism (PA) has been documented in several screening studies as being far more common than previously believed among hypertensive patients. READ MORE

7. 5. New Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches in Adrenocortical Cancer

   Author : Tanweera Shaheena Khan; Barbro Eriksson; Mats Bergström; Anna-Lena Hulting; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare disease that is often difficult to diagnose, and therefore often presents at an advanced stage. Various cytotoxic treatments have been tried with little success. Evaluation of new diagnostic methods and improvement of medical therapies are therefore crucial. READ MORE
