Pituitary adenoma is the most common benign tumor in the cranial cavity,and its main symptoms are visual impairment and endocrine hormone disorder.MRI is the preferred method to show the pituitary adenoma and its surrounding structures,but in some cases,it cannot reflect the microstructural damage of the visual pathway,nor can it distinguish between active tumor and post-treatment remodeling.In recent years,some magnetic resonance imaging techniques and equipments have shown a lot of research progress in the application of pituitary adenoma,such as diffusion tensor imaging,ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging,intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging,and molecular imaging,etc.,which have important roles in evaluating the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of pituitary adenoma.This article briefly reviews the application of these magnetic resonance imaging techniques and devices in the detection,diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of pituitary adenoma.
