[Abstract] Conventional MRI technique has been widely used in the detection of pituitary lesions. The further spring of some advanced imaging techniques (e.g. magnetic transfer imaging, fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition, perfusion-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, MR spectroscopy and etc.) enables the combination of various imaging techniques. It is the combined strategy that improves the detection rate, while significantly contributes to the preoperative evaluation, the surgical method’s election and the follow-up after operations.
