Findings on MRI suggestive of Sheehan's syndrome include decreased sellar volume, empty sella, pituitary remnant tissue or CSF in sella.

MRI shows an empty sella, in chronic cases of Sheehan's syndrome.^[1]^[2]^[3]
It can also show decreased sellar volume, pituitary remnant tissue or CSF in sella.
It is done to exclude any pituitary mass.

Early
- Enlarged pituitary, with low T1, high T2 homogenous signal
- Ring enhancement
Late
- Empty sella of normal size.^[4]
