Managing incidental findings on abdominal CT: white paper of the ACR incidental findings committee. (2010, methodology): “Adrenal washout CT was used successfully to istinguish adenomas from nonadenomas in 160 of 166 drenal masses with 98% sensitivity and 92% specificty [73].”
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American Association of Endocrine Surgeons Medical Guidelines for the Management of Adrenal Incidentalomas: executive summary of recommendations. (2009, neutral): “Benign adrenal lesions will commonly enhance up to 80 to 90 HU and wash out more than 50% on the delayed scan, whereas lesions such as metastatic tumors, carcinomas, or pheochromocytomas will not (8 [EL 2]) .”
The incidentally discovered adrenal mass (2007, methodology): “The accuracy of washout values was validated by Caoili et al in a study of 166 adrenal masses, accurate characterization being achieved in 96% of masses [37].”
The clinically inapparent adrenal mass: update in diagnosis and management. (2004, methodology): “Using this method, a relative washout of more than 40–50% is highly suggestive of a benign mass with a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 100%, whereas lower relative washout percentages strongly suggest a metastasis (196, 215, 218).”
