Abstract
A prospective study was undertaken to compare the morphology of the pituitary gland by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 27 consecutive patients. CT is an accepted imaging modality but this study suggested that MRI has certain advantages. MRI is proposed as the imaging modality of choice for lesions of the pituitary gland.
