J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1979 Aug;3(4):467-9. doi: 10.1097/00004728-197908000-00005.

Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) visualization of both adrenal glands was possible in 99 of 100 cases using a fast (2 sec) scanner. Previously reported CT variants of normal adrenal glands correlated well with transverse sections of 20 autopsy specimens.
