    Cushing’s syndrome is primarily caused by ACTH hypersecretion from pituitary adenomas, leading to significant morbidity and mortality.

  • 2

    High-resolution contrast-enhanced MRI with a 3D FSE sequence improves the identification of pituitary microadenomas compared to conventional MRI.

  • 3

    Conventional MRI has a high false negative rate, missing up to 50% of microadenomas, necessitating improved imaging techniques.

  • 4

    The study included 69 patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome, all confirmed surgically, to evaluate MRI diagnostic performance.

    The 3D FSE sequence offers superior image quality and diagnostic accuracy for detecting ACTH-secreting pituitary microadenomas.
