[Abstract] Pituitary adenoma is a common benign intracranial tumor, but it can show high invasiveness and recurrence rate, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year. Radiomics and deep learning are important research directions of artificial intelligence in the field of medical imaging. They are widely used in tumor imaging research, and play an important role in the heterogeneous diagnosis, efficacy evaluation, and prognosis prediction of pituitary adenomas. This article reviews the application and research progress of radiomics and deep learning in pituitary adenomas.
