CT time-attenuation washout curves of adrenal adenomas and nonadenomas
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the CT contrast enhancement washout curves of adrenal masses and to determine the earliest time after initial enhancement that differentiation of adenomas from nonadenomas is possible. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Contrast enhancement washout curves were generated after delayed contrast-enhanced CT scans of 52 adrenal adenomas and 24 nonadenomas. The optimal threshold value and corresponding sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of adenoma were determined according to attenuation values. Also, we calculated the percentage and relative percentage of enhancement washout at time delays from 5 to 45 min after initial enhancement. RESULTS: The mean percentage of enhancement washout for adrenal adenomas was 51% at 5 min and 70% at 15 min, compared with 8% and 20%, respectively, for nonadenomas. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of adenoma were both 96% at a threshold attenuation value of 37 H on the 15-min delayed enhanced scan. CONCLUSION: On CT, adrenal adenomas show a much earlier and more rapid washout of contrast enhancement than do nonadenomas. Adenomas and nonadenomas can be differentiated by attenuation values or the percentage or relative percentage of washout as early as 5-15 min after enhancement.

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.
