Adrenal gland diseases affect the small glands located above the kidneys, which produce important hormones like adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol. Common conditions include adrenal metastases, where cancer cells from other parts of the body spread to the adrenal glands, and adrenal carcinoma, a malignant tumor that can impair adrenal function. Adrenal cysts are fluid-filled cavities that often cause no symptoms, but in some cases, they may indicate other underlying health issues.
Whole-body MRI allows for precise imaging of these conditions, enabling the localization of tumors and determination of their extent.
