Popis: Multiplanar capability and superior tissue contrast differentiation render magnetic resonance (MR) imaging the preferred method of examination of lesions affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. MR imaging is the modality of choice for evaluating the anatomy and pathologic conditions of the hypothalamus. The MR imaging differential diagnosis of various hypothalamic disease entities relies on understanding the signal characteristics and postcontrast enhancement patterns. MR imaging features in addition to the patient’s demographics and clinical presentation will help the clinician to treat the patient appropriately.
