Commentary

Abstract

All the four articles chosen for this issues literature review have a quality theme to them. There are three reviews and one original article selected from recent issues of Radiology and Radiographics. With the improvements in imaging technology the visualisation of adrenal glands has improved dramatically. Gone are the days of retroperitoneal air insufflation to outline adrenal glands. This improved visualisation throws up diagnostic dilemmas when lesions are demonstrated incidentally. this especially causes consternation in the context of malignant diseases elsewhere in the body. The article by Boland etal address this dilemma and gives a workable algorithm for characterising these lesions.
