Primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn syndrome): MR imaging findings.

Journal article

PURPOSE: To describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of the adrenal glands in primary hyperaldosteronism and assess MR imaging in the detection and characterization of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors retrospectively reviewed the cases of 20 patients (13 female and seven male patients; age range, 14-67 years; median age, 46 years) with primary hyperaldosteronism who underwent 1.5-T MR imaging between 1995 and 1998.
