Cortical sex hormones adrenal gland10/28/2023 CT has been the primary modality for adrenal imaging owing to reproducibility, temporal and spatial resolution and broad access. As imaging has become more robust so has its role in the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal conditions. Diagnosis and treatment of adrenal cortical hyperplasia requires a thorough clinical evaluation. Any disruption in the multiple enzymes and hormones involved in these pathways may cause serious or life-threatening symptoms, often associated with anatomical changes in the adrenal glands. Controlled by the pituitary gland, the adrenal cortex drives critical processes, such as the production of cortisol, mineralocorticoid and sex hormones. Adrenal cortical hyperplasia manifests radiologically as a non-malignant growth, or enlargement, of the adrenal glands, specifically the cortex, although the cortex cannot be definitively identified by conventional imaging.
