Normal and abnormal adrenal tissues possess natural NIR autofluorescence. Highest autofluorescence levels were associated with cortisol-producing tumors. Confocal imaging demonstrated the highest intensity in the zona reticularis. NIR cameras may have the potential to improve identification of adrenal tissue during surgery.
