Cross-sectional validation study examining diagnostic accuracy of CT scans against histopathology in adrenal masses, indicating high specificity.

CT demonstrated a high sensitivity of 86.7% for diagnosing adrenal masses, and a specificity of 93.2%.
Overall diagnostic accuracy reached 92.4%, confirming CT's reliability in characterizing adrenal masses.
Stratified analyses across gender and BMI groups showed consistent diagnostic performance of CT scans.
Histopathology served as the gold standard, confirming the effectiveness of CT in differentiating adenomas from non-adenomas.

Ain et al. (2025) studied this question.
