| Popis: | Background: The present study was conducted for assessing pituitary gland volume and stalk measurements in normal Indian paediatric population on MRI. Materials & methods: A total of 100 subjects within the age range upto 17 years were enrolled. Complete demographic details of all the subjects were obtained. Only those subjects were enrolled in the present study who underwent MRI. Pituitary gland assessment was done based on MRI analysis. Results: While assessing MRI findings, it was seen that mean Pituitary gland volume was 157.2 mm3 while mean stalk height was 5.7 mm. while evaluating the pituitary gland volume and stalk measurements in normal Indian paediatric population on MRI, it was seen that mean stalk height and mean volume increased significantly with age. Conclusion: The authors conclude that Pituitary size can be accurately determined by using MRI and should be correlated with the subject’s age for further correlation. |
