Background: Signal intensity in T2 weighted (w) MRI in somatotroph pituitary adenomas has been described to correlate with histological granulation pattern. Long-term somato-statin analogue (SSA)-response is associated with both histological subtype and T2wMRI.Objective: To describe secretory baseline characteristics in newly diagnosed acromegalic patients in relation to T2 signal intensity. Moreover, to test whether T2 w images could predict preoperativ...
