Differentiation of multiple adrenal adenoma subtypes based on a radiomics and clinico-radiological model: a dual-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence and detection rates of adrenal incidentalomas have been on the rise globally, with more than 90% of these lesions pathologically classified as adrenocortical adenomas. Among these, approximately 30% of patients present with hormone-secreting adenomas, leading to the deterioration of their health, with some requiring surgical resection. The available methods for adrenal function evaluation are invasive and costly. Moreover, their accuracy is influenced by numerous factors. Therefore, it is imperative to develop non-invasive and simplified preoperative diagnostic approach.

Methods

A retrospective study was performed on 169 patients from two tertiary medical centers. Subsequently, radiomics features were extracted after tumor margins were delineated la
