Overview
MRI
- Brain MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency. Findings on MRI include:
- MRI is highly sensitive to visualize the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract. After the clinical and biochemical diagnosis of GHD is made.[1]
- On T1-weighted imaging, a clear demarcation can be made between the adenohypophysis and the neurohypophysis, which appears as hyperintense.[2]
- This imaging is important to exclude the possibility of a pituitary tumor; it also permits diagnostic characterization by showing the presence or absence of morphological abnormalities such as anterior pituitary hypoplasia, pituitary stalk agenesis, and posterior pituitary ectopia.
- Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) can be diagnosed using MRI aslo.[3]
