Table 1. Standard intensity of the normal, ischemic, and hemorrhagic adrenal gland .

Key: diffusion weighted intensity (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), fat-saturated (FS)

¹Compared to typical adrenal diffusion restriction and splenic diffusion restriction.

Acute < 7 days, Subacute: 7-10 days

Hypointense (Dark gray), Isointense (Gray), Hyperintense (White)
