Contrast-enhanced CT images in the arterial phase from two different patients with septic shock (a and b) and the respective venous phases (c and d). Different patterns of adrenal gland hyperenhancement can be observed, characterised in one patient by a central zone with less intense enhancement relative to the peripheral zone (a, black arrows) and in the other patient by a central zone with heterogeneous enhancement and a mosaic-like appearance (b, white arrows). In both cases, the venous phase shows a homogeneous enhancement (c, black arrows; d, white arrows)
