[[Brain]] [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] may be helpful in the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency. On [[T1|T1-weighted imaging]], a clear demarcation can be made between the [[adenohypophysis]] and the [[neurohypophysis]], which appears as hyperintense. Other pituitary abnormalities such as [[Anterior pituitary|anterior pituitary hypoplasia]], [[Pituitary stalk|pituitary stalk agenesis]], and [[Posterior pituitary|posterior pituitary ectopia]] can be diagnosed using [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]].

Overview

Brain MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency. On T1-weighted imaging, a clear demarcation can be made between the adenohypophysis and the neurohypophysis, which appears as hyperintense. Other pituitary abnormalities such as anterior pituitary hypoplasia, pituitary stalk agenesis, and posterior pituitary ectopia can be diagnosed using MRI.
