Impiego del Gadolinio-DTPA nello studio con risonanza magnetica della patologia della regione sellare e parasellare

Abstract

English

Nel seguente lavoro vengono discusse le indicazioni all'utilizzo, nella routine diagnostica, del Gd-DTPA nella patologia della regione sellare e parasellare. Vengono inizialmente considerate le possibilità ed i limiti dell'esame RM diretto, valutando il protocollo di studio ideale e i dati della letteratura. Secondariamente si prendono in considerazione le caratteristiche dell'anatomia normale della regione sellare e parasellare dopo iniezione di Gd-DTPA ed infine i principali capitoli di patologia, in particolare micro e macroadenomi.
