Abstract
The literature on the radiologic diagnosis of [human] pituitary adenoma is reviewed. 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.Keywords
