Detection of Functioning Pituitary Microadenoma: PET/MRI Versus PET/CT
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective case-control study to compare the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/MRI with that of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detection of functioning pituitary microadenomas.A single dose of 370 Mega-Becquerel (MBq) 18F-FDG will be injected intravenously.Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the PET/MRI and PET/CT images.

Detailed Description
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be insufficient to locate functioning pituitary microadenoma.This study compared the usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/MRI with that of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detection of functioning pituitary microadenomas in patients with inconclusive conventional MRI findings. Trans-sphenoidal adenomectomy was performed within 2 weeks of imaging.The PET/CT and PET/MRI findings and tracer uptake levels were correlated with the surgical findings and pathological results.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 18F-FDG PET/MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT The patients were injected with 370 MBq of 18F-FDG in one dose intravenously and underwent PET/MRI or PET/CT scan 1 hour later |
Drug: 18F-FDG
Single-dose 18F-FDG were injected into the patients before the PET/MR or PET/CT scans.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Standardized uptake value of 18F-FDG in pituitary adenoma [5 years]
The semiquantitative analysis will be performed by the same person for all the cases, and the standardized uptake value (SUV) of the tracer in pituitary adenoma will be measured
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Adverse events collection [1 week]
Adverse events within 1 week after the injection and scanning of patients and patients will be followed and assessed
Eligibility Criteria

- Patients who were pathologically diagnosed with pituitary adenoma after surgery were recruited, and were able to provide basic information and sign the written informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The exclusion criteria included claustrophobia, kidney or liver failure, and inability to fulfill the study.
