MRI Brain Pituitary Sella (MRI) near me in Navi Mumbai

MRI Brain Pituitary Sella (MRI) is a specialized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that focuses on the pituitary gland and the sella turcica, a small, saddle-shaped area at the base of the brain where the pituitary gland sits. This test uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of this region without using radiation.

Doctors may recommend this scan to check for pituitary tumors, hormonal imbalances, vision problems, unexplained headaches, or conditions like Cushing's disease or acromegaly. It helps detect abnormalities in the size, shape, or function of the pituitary gland, which plays a key role in controlling many hormones in the body.

The procedure is safe, painless, and noninvasive. You will be asked to lie still in the MRI machine while images are taken. Sometimes, a contrast dye may be used to enhance the clarity of the scan. Inform your doctor if you have any metal implants, kidney problems, or are pregnant before the scan.
