May aid adrenal mass characterization on delayed CT; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Does 1-hour-delayed enhanced CT differentiate benign adenomas from malignant metastases in patients with adrenal masses?
1-hour-delayed enhanced CT can accurately differentiate adrenal adenomas from metastases using a threshold of 30 HU.
