Can mri of brain see strokes/mini strokes and tumours on pituitary gland?

Pituitary: This is a very good question. If the radiologist is not aware that the pituitary gland is of concern things in this small gland may be missed. I understand that mris looking for trouble in the pituitary have to be more selective and get more views to rule in or rule out disease. But, if the radiologist knows of the concern then yes these can be seen.

Yes : If pituitary tumor is suspected a detailed endocrine evaluation is necessary to assess whether it is a functionally secreting tumor. Especially looking for acth secreting tumors given your history there are other types that present with generalized symptoms but a thorough endocrine evaluation should establish this in addition a very refined mri.

Pituitary gland MRI: An MRI is one of the best diagnostic tests to find strokes and possible tumors of the pituitary gland. Pituitary tumors often have abnormal blood levels of various hormones and this can also be tested.
