Purpose: Somatotrophinomas have been shown to demonstrate T2-weighted signal intensity (WSI) on MRI that is correlated with clinicopathological findings and response to treatment. Therefore, we aimed to investigate these correlations in functional pituitary adenomas, including prolactinoma and corticotrophinoma. Material and MethodsPatients with somatotrophinoma (n=87), prolactinoma (n=78) and corticotrophinoma (n=33) were invo...
