Overview
MRI may be diagnostic of prolactinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive test for detecting pituitary tumors and determining their size.
Key MRI findings in prolactinoma
MRI may be diagnostic of prolactinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive test for detecting pituitary tumors and determining their size. Contrast enhanced MRIs have a sensitivity of 90%. Findings on MRI scans suggestive of prolactinoma include:[1]
