Biomarkers of pituitary macroadenomas aggressive behaviour: a conventional MRI and DWI 3T study.

CONCLUSION: Adding quantitative measures of ADC values to cMRI could be used routinely as a non-invasive marker of specific predictive biomarker of the proliferative activity of PA.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Routinely use of DWI on diagnostic work-up of pituitary adenomas may help in establish the likely biological aggressive lesions.
