Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of our study was to determine the size of normal adrenal glands in Indian population. Measurements of the adrenal glands were obtained from computed tomographic (CT) images in 70 patients , who were undergoing CT for routine clinical indications. Patients with focal adrenal nodular lesions and mass lesion are excluded from this study. The following dimensions were measured: the maximum width of body of adrenal gland, and maximum width of the medial limb and lateral limbs of both adrenal glands. The mean thickness was measured by using computed tomography images and the mean values are as follows right medial limb measured 2.90 mm (SD:0.61), right lateral limb 3.10 mm (SD:0.69), right body thickness 5.39 mm (SD:1.28), left medial measured 3.34 mm (SD:0.9), left lateral limb measured 3.15 mm (SD:0.78) and left body thickness measured 6.1mm (SD:1.23).
