Abstract
The sonographer's knowledge of anatomy along with the use of various patient positions to enhance the visualization of the adrenal gland will produce optimal diagnostic images. In this symposium, we will review recommended patient positions and demonstrate their use in scanning a metastatic adrenal lesion.
