From: Usefulness of cortisol/ACTH ratio (CAR) for diagnosis of cushing's syndrome: comparison of CAR with findings in dexamethasone suppression test

Figure 4

The single correlation between CAR and adenoma tumor diameter in each group was evaluated. For SCS and AICS, the largest adrenal adenoma diameter assessed by abdominal CT was used for evaluation. For CD, the maximum diameter of pituitary adenomas evaluated by brain MRI was used for evaluation. There was a positive correlation between adrenal adenoma diameter and CAR in subjects with AICS (r = 0.508, p < 0.05), whereas there was no correlation between CAR and tumor diameter in those with SCS and CD.
