MRI of the sella turcica is a scan without the use of X-rays. The pituitary gland or sella turcica is an essential endocrine gland in the human body. All changes and disorders associated with this organ can be detected using magnetic resonance imaging. This type of scan can diagnose intracranial hypermnesia, because magnetic resonance imaging allows you to record the expansion of the ventricles of the brain, as well as find a cavity filled with fluid.

Advantages of MRI

Modern devices allow us to detect numerous pathologies, malignant and benign tumors, and also to determine PTSD syndrome in almost all cases. Magnetic resonance imaging provides comprehensive diagnostics of the presence of changes in the structure of the pituitary gland.

MRI of the sella turcica with contrast

In the diagnostics of neoplasms of the organ, MRI of the sella turcica with intravenous contrast is of key importance. Thanks to this, it is possible to correctly determine the boundaries of the spread of the disease.

Indications for diagnostics

Scanning is prescribed by an endocrinologist or neurologist and is recommended after X-ray and blood analysis for hormones. The procedure is performed if there is:

  • suspected tumor formations (adenomas, microadenomas);
  • detection of abnormal levels of pituitary hormones in the lymph.

Preparation

To prepare for the examination process, you must not eat immediately before the diagnosis. Before the examination, you should remove your watch and clothes with metal elements, remove magnetic cards and keys from your pockets. During the scan, you should lie still and silently.
