Adrenocortical carcinoma: contrast washout characteristics on CT
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to characterize pathologically proven adrenocortical carcinoma by examination of washout attenuation characteristics on contrast-enhanced CT images. CONCLUSION: Adrenocortical carcinoma has relative contrast retention on delayed contrast-enhanced CT. All tumors in this series had a relative percentage washout less than 40%, a finding consistent with malignant disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
