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 MR pituitary measurement supports its use as the examination of choice for measuring pituitary height.
在层厚为10毫米的矢状位磁共振(MR)图像上,42例正常患者垂体的平均垂直高度为5.4±0.9毫米。冠状位计算机断层扫描(CT)显示结果相同。对13例肿瘤患者同时进行CT和MR检查来测量垂体大小,结果也基本一致。MR测量垂体的便捷性、舒适性和准确性支持将其作为测量垂体高度的首选检查方法。
