Adrenal gland imaging with multiplane tomography

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)

Multiplane tomography can be employed successfully to image the adrenal glands after the intravenous administration of 6 beta-/sup 131/I-iodomethyl-19-nor cholest-5(10)-en-3 beta-ol (NP-59). The tomographic display allows separation of the adrenal glands from other organs that often obscure the adrenal image when gamma cameras are used and the depth of the adrenal glands may be determined without obtaining lateral views.
