PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To explain the rationale behind and findings on both established and newer techniques in adrenal cortical imaging. We also discuss management of incidentally found adrenal lesions. RECENT FINDINGS: Computed tomography, MRI and PET all have a role to play in imaging of adrenal lesions. SUMMARY: The role of adrenal imaging is to differentiate benign 'leave-alone' lesions from those that warrant further management.
