Chemichal Shift MR Imaging in Diagnosis of Adrenal Adenomas: Qualitative Analysis

Abstract

To investigate the value of chemical shift MR imaging using qualitative analysis in the differentiation of adrenal adenomas from other adrenal masses. Forty-seven patients with 64 adrenal masses (adenoma: 44, nonadenoma: 20) were evaluated using chemical shift MR imaging. An experienced radiologist and a fellow nearing the end of training who were blinded to diagnosis and clinical data independently evaluated the images two times. The signal intensity of the lesion relative to the spleen was scored on a five-point scale. Cohen's kappa values to determine the intra- and interobserver variation were estimated. The first observer classified the lesions correctly except one in both evaluations. The second observer misclassified two lesions in first evaluation and one in second evaluation. This method had excellent intra-observer and excellent inter-observer reproducibility. The safeness of the chemical shift MR imaging using qualitative analysis in differentiation of adrenal adenomas from nonadenomas is high.
