Ultra-High-Field 7 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Including Dynamic and Static Contrast-Enhanced T1-Weighted Imaging Improves Detection of Secreting Pituitary Microadenomas

Conclusion Ultra-high-field MRI surpasses 3 T MRI in pituitary microadenoma detection and enables more precise delineation with higher correlation with intraoperative findings. Thus, 7 T sellar imaging is a promising option—especially in previously magnetic resonance–negative patients with endocrinologically confirmed hormone oversecretion—and helps reduce the need for invasive diagnostics.
