APPROACH TO DIFFERENCES IN HEIGHT OF NORMAL PITUITARY GLAND ON MRI : BETWEEN AGE GROUPS AND SEXES

K. Shilpa, Gs Kejriwal

Abstract :

The pituitary gland shows physiological variations in its size and shape in different age groups in both males and females. Measurement of the height of the pituitary gland is the most important in the detection of abnormal increase in the size. This determination is currently made from measurements using Sagittal and Coronal magnetic resonance images of the pituitary gland in endocrinologically normal individuals of different sex and age groups .
