✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Preliminary work has demonstrated that dynamic contrast material—enhanced magnetic resonance imaging improves the detection sensitivity for pituitary microadenomas. The authors present a new method of obtaining dynamic contrastenhanced pituitary images with a short TR/TE fast spin‐echo technique. This approach allows acquisition of contrast‐enhanced spin‐echo images with high temporal and spatial resolution. The new technique is applied in a small group of patients and control subjects.
