EndocrineDetected by MRI

Adrenal cortical carcinoma

A rare but aggressive cancer of the adrenal cortex. Early detection through MRI significantly improves the chance of curative surgical removal. MRI can raise suspicion of this finding, but a definitive diagnosis requires further specialist assessment — typically examining a tissue sample (taken by biopsy or during surgical removal), and sometimes additional imaging or blood tests.

Progesterone

Progesterone is a hormone produced after ovulation and during pregnancy. It plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, preparing the uterus for pregnancy, and supporting early pregnancy. In non-pregnant women, progesterone drops trigger menstruation.

Testosterone, total

The primary male sex hormone responsible for sexual development, sperm production, muscle mass maintenance, bone density, and overall energy levels. Low levels can cause fatigue, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, and mood changes. Age-related decline is normal, but significant deficiency may warrant supplementation.

DHEA-sulfate

A hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor for testosterone and estrogen. Levels naturally peak in early adulthood and decline with age. Some research suggests maintaining healthy DHEA-S levels may support energy, immune function, and stress resilience, though evidence for supplementation remains mixed.
