Radiomics is a promising research field that combines big data analysis (from tissue texture analysis) with clinical questions. We studied the application of CT texture analysis in adrenal pheochromocytomas (PCCs) to define the correlation between the extracted features and the secretory pattern, the histopathological data, and the natural...

Background: The adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy originating from the adrenal cortex. These patients usually undergo chemotherapy with etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin and mitotane (EDP-M) in case of locally advanced or metastatic ACC. Computed tomography (CT) radiomics showed to be useful in adrenal...

Introduction and aim: Ectopic ACTH secretion (EAS) is mostly secondary to thoracic/ abdominal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) or small cell-lung carcinoma (SCLC). We studied the diagnostic accuracy of CT with68Ga-Dota derivatives (68Ga-SSTR) PET in localizing ACTH-secreting tumor in patients with EAS. Materials and methods:68Ga-SSTR-PET/CT was...
