    (1948-2018) Donald Mitchell Crawford, Sr. (“DC”), musician, author, and educator, was born on May 24, 1948, and was a lifelong resident of Birmingham, AL. His father and mother owned and operated “C & S Charter Tours Bus Company,” the first black-owned bus company in the state of Alabama. Crawford was a 1966 graduate of Western Olin High School in Birmingham, AL. Crawford was an outstanding drum major, playing first chair alto saxophone under the tutelage of the late Amos F. Gordon, Sr. After high school, he received a music scholarship to Alabama State University (ASU) where he earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Music Education and was later inducted into the “School of Music Hall of Fame” at ASU. He was the youngest ever inducted into the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and performed with the 291 st and 283rd Army Band in Fort Bennett, GA. DC was Band Director at Jackson Olin High School and taught in the Birmingham School System for over thirty-five years. His love for music and performing lead him after his retirement to serve as Band Director for Miles College. Crawford is the author of “The Wheels of the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement.” This book chronicles the lives of his late father and mother, Worcy and Christine Pride Crawford, and the role he and the company played in the Birmingham Civil Rights Movement

    CT and MR Imaging of the Adrenal Glands in Cortisol-secreting Tumors

    Cushing’s syndrome (CS), first described by the neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing in the 1930s, is the result of chronic glucocorticoid excess. In patients with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent CS, bilateral hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex occurs, while in those with ACTH-independent primary CS, either adrenocortical tumors or primary adrenal hyperplasia can be observed. Cortisolsecreting adrenocortical tumors are more frequently adenomas, while adrenal carcinoma accounts for only 5% of cases. Unfortunately, no reliable endocrinological tests are available and no specific tumor markers exist to differentiate between benign and malignant adrenal tumors, so both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies are currently required to localize and define adrenal lesions. Additional information to conventional imaging can be obtained using 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, while percutaneous image-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in some cases has shown a high accuracy in detecting malignancy and in confirming adrenal metastases. New PET tracers with selective affinity for the adrenal tissue are still under evaluation. Multidetector CT scan, with the combination of unenhanced and dynamic scans, represents the single most accurate modality for the detection and the characterization of adrenal adenomas. In these lesions, chemical-shift MR imaging produces a typical loss of signal intensity on out-ofphase breath-hold gradient-echo images in lipid-rich adenomas. For these lesions there is no difference between CT and MR imaging, while MR chemical shift imaging is very helpful in identifying the additional small group of adenomas where intracellular lipid content is minimal
