Diagnosis: imaging of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas

Shern L Chew. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2010 Apr.

Abstract

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare tumors, but their investigation and management are complex and expensive, both in terms of time and resources. a novel prospective study systematically compared different imaging techniques, and the results provide clinicians with valuable help in deciding the appropriate imaging strategy for patients with pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas.
