How do you diagnose pituitary tumors?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
MRI and labs: Blood tests can confirm if the tumor is actively producing extra hormones but MRI of the pituitary is the main study to visualize the actual tumor.

Most accurate: Is MRI brain, with and without contrast hormone tests determine whether growth is secreting too much or too little pituitary hormones.
