Pituitary adenoma consistency: Direct correlation of ultrahigh field 7T MRI with histopathological analysis
European Journal of Radiology Mar 12, 2020
Yao A, Rutland JW, Verma G, et al. - This study was intended to assess the utility of 7 T (7 T) MRI in predicting the tumor consistency of pituitary adenomas. Researchers preoperatively scanned a total of 15 individuals with pituitary adenomas at 7 T MRI. The carried out the histopathological analysis. It was reported that the signal and contrast advantage presented by 7 T MRI may give valuable preoperative information regarding pituitary tumor consistency and physiology. No significant difference was found in the signal intensity ratio between soft and firm tumors. The application of granular, voxel-based analysis maximizes the potential afforded by the high resolution of 7 T imaging and may be a valuable method of predicting the consistency of pituitary adenoma.
