Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective case-control study to compare the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/MRI with that of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detection of functioning pituitary microadenomas.A single dose of 370 Mega-Becquerel (MBq) 18F-FDG will be injected intravenously.Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the PET/MRI and PET/CT images.


Clinical Trial Description

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be insufficient to locate functioning pituitary microadenoma.This study compared the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/MRI with that of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detection of functioning pituitary microadenomas in patients with inconclusive conventional MRI findings. Trans-sphenoidal adenomectomy was performed within 2 weeks of imaging.The PET/CT and PET/MRI findings and tracer uptake levels were correlated with the surgical findings and pathological results. ;
