*'''[[Inferior petrosal sinus|Inferior petrosal sinus sampling]]''' is an infrequently used method for confirming the presence of a hormonally active pituitary microadenoma, when imaging alone has been insufficient. This technique is able to confirm that excess hormone (e.g. ACTH) is being produced by the pituitary and may also help in lateralising the microadenoma.<ref name=radio> Inferior petrosal sinus sampling.
