How long does this course take?

8 cases at 10–15 minutes each puts the course at roughly 2 hours of active learning. It is designed to be chipped away at in 20-minute daily increments — not done in one sitting. A few cases a day and you will be through it in under a week.

Is 8 cases enough to learn adrenal MRI?

Yes. This is a targeted, high-yield course. Each case was selected to illustrate a key principle. The goal is systematic characterisation, not volume. As the course grows, additional cases will be added.

Do I need to know chemical shift MRI physics?

We cover the practical application of chemical shift imaging — what to look for and why — without requiring physics prerequisites. If you can identify in-phase and out-of-phase images, you are ready.

The adrenal incidentaloma is one of the most common findings in abdominal imaging — and one of the most mishandled. The question is almost always the same: adenoma or not? Chemical shift imaging, washout patterns, signal characteristics. There's a systematic approach that makes most cases straightforward.

This course, built with expert guidance from Dr. Satheesh Krishna, teaches you that approach. Eight carefully curated cases cover the core adrenal pathology you need to know: from the lipid-rich adenoma to the pheochromocytoma to the adrenocortical carcinoma. Small case count, high yield.

Who This Course Is For

R4–R5 residents. Body imaging fellows. Staff radiologists who want to be more confident with adrenal MRI. Any radiologist who wants to move beyond "probably an adenoma" to a systematic, evidence-based approach.

Pathologies include:

Adrenal Nodules & Adenomas

●Including lipid-rich adenoma, lipid-poor adenoma, and adenoma mimics

Benign Adrenal Masses

●Including myelolipoma, pheochromocytoma, and ganglioneuroma

Malignant Adrenal Masses

●Including adrenocortical carcinoma, adrenal metastasis, and adrenal lymphoma

What You'll Learn

1Apply a systematic approach to adrenal characterisation using chemical shift MRI — distinguishing lipid-rich from lipid-poor adenomas from non-adenomas.
2Recognise the key imaging features of pathologies like pheochromocytoma, myelolipoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma.
3Interpret adrenal lesions in the context of a known primary malignancy — distinguishing metastasis from incidental adenoma.

"Every money counts — coming from a different country, every payment seems like a lot. But it was the best investment I made. When I started my fellowship, I felt confident. I felt like I was part of the team."
Nikahat Yasmine, Radiology Fellow (Year 3), University of Iowa
