Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 7 patients with pheochromocytomas demonstrable by CT [computed tomography] was performed. MRI showed all primary pheochromocytomas and metastatic lesions to the thorax, retroperitoneum and liver. The ability to distinguish pheochromocytomas from surrounding structures without the need of an i.v. contrast agent and to provide direct coronal and sagittal images suggests that MRI may be useful in detecting and localizing these tumors.
