The author reviews the literature on the radiologic diagnosis of pituitary adenoma, including the studies by Bruneton et al., Danziger et al., and Dubois et al. in this issue. Computed tomography is the definitive radiologic diagnostic tool in large pituitary adenomas (1.5 cm or greater). Precision radiographic studies, endocrine correlation, and an understanding of the effect of sellar variations on radiographic images can yield a very high incidence of accurate recognition of pituitary microadenomas. Computed tomography portends an even greater diagnostic sensitivity.
作者回顾了有关垂体腺瘤放射学诊断的文献，包括本期布鲁内顿等人、丹齐格等人以及杜布瓦等人的研究。计算机断层扫描是大型垂体腺瘤（1.5厘米或更大）的决定性放射学诊断工具。精确的放射学研究、内分泌相关性以及对蝶鞍变异对放射影像影响的了解，可使垂体微腺瘤的准确识别率非常高。计算机断层扫描预示着更高的诊断敏感性。
