Microadenoma
Below is an MRI of a patient with a microadenoma. Spend some time really looking and understanding the dynamic contrast-enhanced coronal image. Watch how the contrast surrounds the adenoma. Also, look for the indirect signs of its presence. Is there deviation of the stalk? What about the floor of the sella? Look at the superior surface of the adenoma. Is it bowed upwards?
Also spend a few minutes seeing how many structures you can name. Can you find the posterior pituitary bright spot? Do you remember what the cause of it is?
