Supports visual chemical shift MRI for high-specificity adrenal adenoma characterization; leaves open prospective validation in broader cohorts.
Does chemical shift and dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging accurately differentiate adrenal adenomas from nonadenomas?
Chemical shift MR imaging can accurately characterize adrenal adenomas with high specificity by visually comparing opposed-phase with in-phase GRE images.
