Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate radiologic prediction of cavernous sinus invasion by pituitary adenoma remains challenging. We aimed to assess whether 1-mm-slice-thickness MRI with deep learning-based reconstruction can better predict cavernous sinus invasion by pituitary adenoma preoperatively and to estimate the depth of invasion and degree of contact in relation to the carotid artery, compared with 3-mm-slice-thickness MRI.
