title: [A comparison between computed tomography and magnetic resonance in the verification of prolactinomas].
abstract: First, computer tomography and subsequently magnetic resonance have profoundly changed the diagnostic protocol for the study pituitary pathology. Conventional X-ray and examination with the use of contrast media are being employed less and less. Tomographic techniques (CT and RM) permit direct identification of anomalies as well as precise evaluation of their relationship with surrounding structures.
