Supports CT washout for adrenal lesion characterization; leaves open prospective validation.
Does relative percentage washout on delayed enhanced CT improve the characterization of adrenal masses as benign or malignant?
Calculation of relative percentage washout on dynamic and delayed enhanced CT scans provides a highly specific test for characterizing adrenal lesions as benign or malignant.
