Adrenal imaging with technetium-99m-labelled low density lipoproteins

Evaluation of adrenal cortical function by external imaging is currently accomplished by injection of radiolabelled analogs of cholesterol. Although the adrenals do utilize exogenous cholesterol for steroid hormone synthesis, the cholesterol is delivered to the glands not as free cholesterol but thr...
