OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the value of contrast-enhanced 3-dimensional (3D) T2-weighted (T2W) Volume Isotropic Turbo Spin Echo Acquisition (VISTA) sequence in prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma diagnosis.
METHODS: We enrolled 158 patients with hyperprolactinemia. Coronal dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) T1 spin echo and T2W VISTA sequences were performed. The detection of pituitary microadenomas in 3 imaging groups (DCE magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], VISTA, and DCE MRI + VISTA) were compared using McNemar test and χ2 test.
RESULTS: The DCE MRI + VISTA group detected 28 more pituitary microlesions than DCE MRI alone. Among these, 20 lesions were clearly observed on VISTA images but were negative on DCE MRI. The combined sequences showed higher sensitivity (85.3%) and diagnostic accuracy (89.2%) for adenoma detection than any of the sequences alone (P < 0.01). We noted that in 65.7% of the patients with adenoma (46 of 70), a "hypointense rim" was present around the lesion on the VISTA images. Of them, 11 patients underwent surgery. Histopathology confirmed that the "hypointense rim" was a pseudocapsular structure at the edge of the adenoma.
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with hyperprolactinemia, the 3D T2W VISTA sequence is an important supplement to DCE MRI, because it could improve the detection rate of pituitary microadenomas.
