"The history of imaging of the pituitary region encompasses many different modalities and has greatly evolved over the years, including plain radiographs, pneumoencephalography, angiography, CT and MRI. The pituitary gland is situated in the central skull base, closely related to the sphenoid sinus, cavernous sinuses and optic chiasm and is subject to a wide array of pathologies which can involve these important adjacent structures."
