CT Scan Shows Solid Nodule On Left Adrenal Gland. Should I Go For Another Washout Image ?
In 2010 I had a CT scan . The finding indicated on my left adrenal gland a 19 mm solid nodule measuring 61 HU. Should I request a washout image since it has not yet been performed? In addition to this inquiry should I also request functionality of my left adrenal gland be determined biochemically? Sorry I did not realize this site requires a nominal fee. Sorry for wasting your precious time. Have a great day.

Hi,
You can get your adrenal nodule assessed for change in size through an ultrasound scan. This is convenient, less expensive and radiation free.
I strongly suggest you talk to a radiologist and discuss your 2010 reports with him in detail along with any blood tests.
If ultrasound is in conclusive then a CT scan can be thought about with wash out imaging.
Hope this helps.
