3 PURPOSE & METHODS Incidental adrenal nodules are identified in 7% of patients on imaging. Evidence based management guidelines incorporate medical history (cancer, endocrine syndrome) and imaging features (nodule size, attenuation, enhancement pattern and heterogeneity) into decision-making. The purpose of this initiative was to create a set of standardized report recommendations to manage adrenal nodules, for broad adoption across radiology practices. An academic department and large private practice group collaborated to establish a set of evidence-based consensus macros in Powerscribe for incidental adrenal nodules. The process for guideline development included literature review and consultation with endocrine specialists. Criteria for pheochromocytoma were included, as they comprise 7-19% of incidental nodules. These criteria were based on published data pertaining to contrast enhancement patterns Five variants were created with relevant clinical and imaging variables in each algorithm.
4 PEARLS & PITFALLS FROM PUBLISHED DATA Incidental adrenal nodules < 3 cm usually benign > 4 cm require surgical consultation Adrenal adenoma (lipid rich or lipid poor) Pheocrhomocytoma: enhancing to 217 HU Often homogeneous Increase in enhancement from arterial to venous phase Typically enhances <100 HU on arterial phase & <130 HU on venous phase Usually exceeds APW & RPW thresholds on 15 minute delayed imaging Pheochromocytoma Metastatic leiomyosarcoma: peripherally enhancing Often heterogeneous Can be hypovascular or hypervascular; may enhance >100 HU arterial & >130 HU venous Can exceed APW & RPW thresholds on 15 minute delayed imaging Metastatic disease Do not typically exceed APW (absolute percentage washout) & RPW (relative percentage washout) thresholds on 15 minute delayed imaging Peripheral enhancement should raise concern for metastasis in setting of primary malignancy Hypervascular metastases (RCC, HCC) Can exceed APW & RPW thresholds on 15 minute delayed imaging Metastatic RCC enhances to 153 HU arterial phase and washes out on the delayed phase

14 CONCLUSIONS A growing body of evidence in the literature can be used to improve interpretative performance and management recommendations for adrenal nodules. In addition to well established size criteria and washout characteristics, enhancement patterns across phases can assist in distinguishing different pathologies. Understanding of the pitfalls associated with hypervascular pheochromocytoma, RCC and HCC is important to avoid misdiagnoses. Radiologists can increase the value of care delivered by incorporating standardized evidence-base best-practice recommendations based on these variants and variables into the report impression. Consensus across practice settings and specialties is critical for broad adoption and adherence.
