Extraadrenal pheochromocytoma: dynamic demonstration at 0.5 tesla

Clin Imaging. 1992 Jul-Sep;16(3):187-9. doi: 10.1016/0899-7071(92)90048-e.

Abstract

We report a case of extraadrenal pheochromocytoma of Zuckerkandl imaged by dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dynamic MRI) with a 0.5 tesla (T) machine. The dynamic MRI proved useful in disclosing the tumor clearly because of strong enhancement in its early phase. This case has the advantages of dynamic computed tomography (dynamic CT) as well as of T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) MR images.
