| Core Tip |
[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) diagnostic performance for adrenal incidentalomas (AdIn) was evaluated based on their size as measured on computed tomography (CT) and their unenhanced density in Hounsfield units (HU), using a 20 HU cutoff to assess adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) risk. The likelihood ratios for positive/negative tests do not meet the usual thresholds, respectively, indicating strong but not definitive diagnostic accuracy. FDG PET should be combined with CT or magnetic resonance imaging for optimal assessment of AdIns. |
