A member asked:
Can mri without contrast see pituitary tumour from cushings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it might: If it shows, then it has been useful. But one can not exclude its presence if no contrast was used.. So if there is strong suspicion, then a repeat MRI with contrast may be more certain and more definitive study to rely on.
