Abstract

T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging study of choice for predicting a pheochromocytoma. The 24-hour urinary metanephrine level is the single best biochemical indicator of a pheochromocytoma. Plasma catecholamine levels and computed tomography are not helpful in diagnosing or excluding a pheochromocytoma.
