Résumé
Background Unenhanced dual-layer spectral-detector CT may facilitate adrenal lesion characterization; however, no studies have evaluated its incremental diagnostic yield for indeterminate lesions (unenhanced attenuation >10 HU) in comparison to that with conventional unenhanced CT. Purpose To determine whether spectral attenuation analysis improves characterization of lipid-poor adrenal adenomas from nonadenomas compared to that with mean attenuation and histogram analysis of conventional CT images. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with indeterminate adrenal lesions who underwent unenhanced dual-layer spectral-detector CT between March 2018 and June 2020. Mean attenuation on conventional 120-kVp images (HU
