What does a pituitary mri report tell a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pituitary anatomy: Hi. The high resolution pituitary MRI has revolutionized pituitary endocrinology along with our highly reliable pituitary hormone assays. Pituitary MRI only gives info about anatomy. Using gadolinium contrast is very helpful, but still only gives anatomy info. We see pituitary tumors, infarct, etc. Or nothing. All imaging modalities have their limits of resolution. I hope your pituitary does well!
