Heterogeneous Spelling

"In healthy individuals, adrenal glands appear as homogenous hypoechoic structures with a well-defined capsule on ultrasound imaging. The normal size varies depending on age and sex but typically ranges from 3-6 cm in length and 2-4 cm in width for each gland. Both glands should have similar echogenicity without any focal masses or enlarged lymph nodes adjacent to them 2,3."
