Pre-mortem diagnosis of adrenal hemorrhage relies mainly on cross-sectional imaging, namely computed tomography (CT) scanning, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Adrenal hemorrhage could be detected by showing non-specific enlargement and hemorrhage into one or both adrenal glands in images.
Image General: Ultrasound system: A console, or a portable system, which includes a monitor and a transducer, and utilizes ultrasound to image body tissues. To image the thyroid and parathyroid glands and neck lymph nodes; also, to guide diagnostic fine needle aspiration [4] or therapeutic ethanol injection to these organs. [5]
Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
Section of human adrenal gland under the microscope, showing its different layers. From the surface to the center: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis, medulla. In the medulla, the central adrenomedullary vein is visible. The adrenal cortex is the outer region and also the largest part of an adrenal gland.
The adrenal arteries are arteries in the human abdomen that supply blood to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands receive input from three different arteries on both the left and right sides of the body: superior suprarenal artery branching from the inferior phrenic artery; middle suprarenal artery branching from the abdominal aorta

The superior suprarenal artery supplies the adrenal gland. [2] ... The superior suprarenal artery may be assessed using Doppler ultrasound. [2] History
They most commonly occur in the adrenal gland, and comprise about 8% of all adrenal tumours. [8] They may also occur in other sites, such as the mediastinum, the liver and the gastrointestinal tract. [1] There is no gender predilection, males and females are affected equally. The peak age range at diagnosis is between 40 and 79 years of age. [1]
