8y MC Dachshund. The left (a,c,d) and right (b,c,e) adrenal glands are small lobular structures located lateral to the caudal vena cava (c:
asterisk). The outer cortex is slightly hypointense to the medulla on T1 images (a–c). On T2 images, the cortex is hyperintense compared
to liver, and the medulla is slightly hyperintense to the cortex (d–f).
