Clinical diagnostic implications of sequential pattern of dynamic MRI for pituitary microadenoma

Guo Qinghua , Erickson Dana , Young William , Bancos Irina , Erickson Bradley

Objective: We examined whether sequential enhancement patterns of pituitary microadenomas on dynamic MRI correlates with different subtypes of pituitary tumors.Materials and methods: Patients with pituitary microadenomas imaged via dynamic MRI between years 2000 and 2012 were included. The intensity of the adenoma and of normal gland at each time point in the dynamic sequence was measured by drawing a region of interest (ROI) on both the normal pituitary...
