Résumé
Adrenal incidentalomas are common findings discovered at abdominal CT and MRI, yet the most appropriate management remains controversial and guidelines vary. The Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) Disease-Focused Panel on Adrenal Neoplasms sought to determine the practice patterns of abdominal radiologists regarding the interpretation and management of adrenal incidentalomas. An electronic survey consisting of eleven multiple choice questions about adrenal incidentalomas was developed and distributed to the email list of current and past SAR members. The response rate was 11.8% (423/3581) and most respondents were academic radiologists (80.6%). The 2017 American College of Radiology White Paper was the most used guideline, yet the management of indeterminate adrenal incidentalomas was highly variable with no single management option reaching a majority. Hormonal evaluation and endocrinology consultation was most often rarely or never recommended. The results of the survey indicate wide variability in the interpretation of imaging findings and management recommendations for incidental adrenal nodules among surveyed radiologists. Further standardization of adrenal incidentaloma guidelines and education of radiologists is needed.
