Diseases of the endocrine system are one of the problematic issues in radiology and endocrinology. «Pioneer» visualization methods provided little information and were sometimes accompanied by painful invasive procedures. Wide use in the practice of physicians of «new» radiological methods such as CT t MRI helped to identify lesions of small dimensions, leading to the significant reduction in mortality. MRI and CT scan using iodocholesterol contrast enhances the informativeness of these methods, leading to increased sensitivity and specificity in detecting space-occupying lesions. This allows to clarify the relationship of the tumor with the surrounding tissues. Despite advances in radiation imaging, the problem of differential diagnosis, development of algorithm for complex radial diagnostics of diseases of adrenal glands remains open and requires further studies.
