The PAD group was assessed for adrenal masses or other morphological deviations using the NAD group as reference. Associations of aCTc with patient variables were explored, and all results were compared with published aCTc of healthy cats. No incidental adrenal masses were identified in the PAD group (n = 92), and only few aCTc differed compared to the NAD group (n = 30). The NAD group showed similar associations of patient variables and aCTc as length (right: 11.5 \u00b1 2.2 mm, left: 11.8 \u00b1 1.7 mm), width (right: 6.4 \u00b1 1.2 mm, left: 5.4 \u00b1 0.8 mm), height (right: 4.5 \u00b1 0.9 mm, left: 4.5 \u00b1 0.8 mm), attenuation (right: 33.1 \u00b1 5.0 Hounsfield units, left: 32.5 \u00b1 5.3 Hounsfield units) and position, but markedly more mineralization (right: 10%, left: 13.3%) than reported in healthy cats. This study provides references of aCTc for diseased cats without evidence of adrenal disease. The result suggests that adrenal incidentalomas seem to be rare in cats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-7140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,16]],"date-time":"2022-05-16T13:27:25Z","timestamp":1652707645000},"page":"113-120","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Assessment
