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.
