Recommendation from the Editor in Chief

Radiographic diagnosis and therapeutic approach are requisite for clinics of endocrinology, especially for a series of adrenal diseases. From the unique standpoint of proficient radiologist, Dr. Oguro and colleague contribute a comprehensive and extensive review article focusing on this issue with a particular emphasis on segmental adrenal venous sampling (SAVS) and radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of unilateral primary aldosteronism (PA), shedding light on the importance of collaborative approach toward intractable endocrine diseases.
