Overview
MRI
- MRI scan may be used in cases of hypogonadism to examine pituitary gland for any pituitary or hypothalamic tumors causing the disease. However, the chance of finding pituitary and hypothalamic tumors in hypogonadism patients is very low.[1]
- MRI scan is performed if the patients of hypogonadism presenting with the following:
- Visual disorders
- Neurological manifestations
- Lab results showing hypopituitarim
- Possible findings of MRI in cases of hypogonadism:
- Empty sella: the sella to be filled with CSF and the infundibulum can be seen to traverse the space, thereby excluding a cystic mass.
- Pituitary micro or macro adenomas.
