Radiological procedures are playing essential role present diagnostic pituitary gland. Pituitary tumours can now be visualized more accurately due to continued improvements magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques with gadolinium enhancement. Aim study: This article summarizes current knowledge about radiological particular MRI scan procedures. In this paper we also want show how looked like past nowadays. Description knowledge: Diagnostic play primary diagnosis treatment sella turcica tumours. It crucial for further locate tumour its size margins. Currently important examination just after laboratory results. That modality easily shows exact location smaller than 1 cm. differentiation lessions wouldn’t possible without contrast agents. The latest study protocols involve dynamic delayed sequences better visualisation differential diagnostic. Conclusions: During years evolved gave us perfect tool visualize pathologies.
