Kinetic contrast MRI for pituitary adenoma?
Answers: Hi. I'm not a doctor but own an opinion. I reflect on you will find the experience very similar. This time I assume you will have a plunger put into a vein of the arm. Some time during the scan the contrast solution of the needle will be injected automatically. The solution is specified to be harmless. You may experience a warm/cold sensation.
This contrast solution make it easier to identify possible pathology. In the case of a tumor the contrast solution will "droop around" in this nouns and "enhance" the image.
The amount of improvement and rate of enhancement will lend a hand the doctor to decide on the type of adenoma. It may also be easier to see how immense it is.
