Magnetization transfer imaging of the pituitary gland.
Magnetization transfer (MT) techniques provide tissue contrast which depends mainly on the concentration of macromolecules. The magnetization transfer phenomenon is determined by the restricted macromolecular protons and is quantified by the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR). Since many macromolecular structures are implicated in the secretory activity of the pituitary gland, this imaging tech...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging of the pituitary gland.
In this issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology, you will find the article “Evaluation of Diffusivity in the Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland: 3D Turbo Field Echo with Diffusion-Sensitized Driven-Equilibrium Preparation” by Hiwatashi et al. I enjoyed reading this article and found it to be a nice “proof of principle” regarding the use of “diffusion-sensitized driven-equilibrium turb...

متن کاملMeasurement of pituitary gland height with MR imaging.
From sagittal magnetic resonance (MR) images with 10 mm slice thickness, the mean vertical height of the pituitary gland in 42 normal patients was found to be 5.4 +/- 0.9 mm. Computed tomographic (CT) scans in the coronal plane showed the same. Measurements of pituitary size in 13 patients with tumors using both CT and MR were also essentially equivalent. The ease, comfort, and accuracy of the ...
متن کاملThe Pituitary Gland.
The pituitary gland has come to be regarded as the master key of the endocrine system in so far as it influences the activity of the remaining glands, but a reciprocal influence in the opposite direction is equally important. Hypophysectomy results in diminished function and some degree of. atrophy in the gonads, adrenals, thyroid, pancreas, and less certainly of the parathyroids; and conversel...
