According to a study from Japan, "Chemical shift MRI is widely used for identifying adenomas, but it is not a perfect method. We determined whether combined dynamic MRI methods can lead to improved diagnostic accuracy. "Fifty-seven adrenal masses were examined by chemical shift and dynamic MR imaging using two MR systems. The masses included 38 adenomas and 19 non-adenomas.
