FIG 2. A, Coronal T1-weighted unenhanced MR image (450/14/2 [TR/TE/excitations]) shows two low-signal foci within the pituitary gland. B, Coronal T1-weighted (637/14/2), fat-saturated, contrast-enhanced MR scan shows two nonenhancing foci, separated by normally enhancing pituitary tissue. CE, T1-weighted (637/14/2), fat-saturated, contrast-enhanced sagittal scans from right to left reveal two adenomas (C, E). Interposed between the two adenomas is normal pituitary tissue and the infundibulum (D).
