Adenoma magnetic resonance

Clinically significant pituitary disease is rare, although small functionless pituitary adenomas are commonly seen as incidental findings at autopsy or on magnetic resonance brain scans. The main issues for clinical pharmacology concern replacement therapy for hypopituitarism, and treatment of hormone-producing pituitary adenomas. [Pg.772]

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is suitable for assessing female infertility, as infertility typically results from benign processes in women of reproductive age. The causes of female infertility include ovulatory disorders (i.e., pituitary adenoma and polycystic ovarian syndrome), disorders of the fallopian tubes (i.e., hydrosalpinx and pelvic inflammatory disease), uterine disorders (i.e.,mullerian duct anomaly, aden-omyosis, and leiomyoma), and pelvic endometriosis.
