The pituitary gland sits at the base of the brain and controls many of the body's hormones. A pituitary adenoma is a usually noncancerous growth on this gland that can sometimes affect hormone levels. An MRI may show changes in the size or shape of the pituitary gland. Early detection may allow hormone-related symptoms to be investigated and managed sooner. MRI is the gold standard for imaging the pituitary gland and detecting pituitary adenomas, offering the highest resolution of this small structure.
