99 patients with arterial hypertension (AH) were studied: 17 patients with pheochromocytoma, 37 with aldosteronoma, 4 with corticosteroma, 38 with essential hypertension. Control group included 16 healthy subjects. The investigation was performed by means of a NMR-tomograph BMT-1100 ("Brucker", FRG) in axial and frontal planes according to Spin Echo (SE) technique with TR = 2.0 s, TE = 34 ms. Qualitative (visual) as well as quantitative criteria for evaluation of adrenal glands state were developed. Normal size of adrenal glands, relative intensity of their signal and T2 were calculated. The data obtained proved that relative intensity of the signal is a highly informative parameter for differential diagnosis of adrenal gland tumors (its value of less than 1.0 is evidence of cortex lesion, and that of more than 1.4--of medulla lesion). High informative value of MR-tomography for evaluation of adrenal glands state in patients with AH is proved by comparative data obtained by other methods, such as computer tomography aortography and histomorphology.

Thirty seven patients with arterial hypertension of renal genesis (chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, renal cystic disease and congenital abnormalities) were subjected to NMR-tomography. The comparison group comprised 12 patients with essential hypertension and 18 normal individuals constituted the control group. The examination was effected in the axial, frontal and sagittal planes using the BMT-1100 NMR-tomograph (Brucker, FRG) with the magnetic intensity of 0.235 T, the coil diameter of 60 cm, and the working frequency of 9.95 MHz. The technique made it possible to draw conclusions as to the presence or absence of the kidneys, their form, size, location and the structure of their cortex and medulla. The anatomo-tomographic picture of the kidneys in patients with chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis without renal insufficiency resembled that in cases of essential hypertension. In patients with chronic pyelonephritis the kidney contour was uneven and when renal insufficiency was present the kidneys were small and the borderline the cortex and the medulla was poorly differentiated. The technique proved especially informative in renal cystic disease and congenital abnormalities (renal aplasia and hypoplasia). The results obtained were compared with the data provided by other examination techniques.
