MRI is the imaging procedure of choice in the diagnosis of<unk> . It is preferred over the CT scan as optic chiasm, pituitary stalk, and cavernous sinuses can be seen in MRI. An MRI lesion needs to be related to clinical and lab findings. The absence of an MRI lesion mostly indicates a non-organic etiology. Cystic lesions, such as Rathke's cleft cysts may have a low-intensity signal on T1-weighted images and a high-intensity signal on T2-weighted images. Meningiomas have a homogenous postcontrast enhancement than pituitary adenomas and have a suprasellar attachment. Hemorrhage into the pituitary gland results in a high-intensity signal on both T1- and T2-weighted images.
