Adrenal, Pituitary, Gonad, and Neuroendocrine Strategies for Endocrinologists-Adrenal Imaging Strategies-Which and When

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Benkos, an adrenal endocrinologist, discusses the topic of adrenal imaging. She introduces Dr. Blake, an associate professor of radiology, who will be presenting on distinguishing different types of adrenal tumors using imaging techniques. Dr. Blake is an expert in adrenal imaging and has published extensively on the topic. The video then delves into the details of various imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, and PET, and their ability to differentiate between adenomas and non-adenomatous lesions. Dr. Blake explains the imaging features of adrenal disorders and discusses guidelines for imaging and strategy. He emphasizes the importance of considering the size, shape, density, and enhancement patterns of adrenal lesions to determine whether they are benign or malignant. He also mentions the use of artificial intelligence in assisting with the interpretation of imaging results. The video ends with a question and answer session, where participants inquire about specific cases and suggest improvements to the current imaging guidelines. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of adrenal imaging and highlights the need for collaboration between endocrinologists and radiologists in this field.
