Signal Intensity and Volume of Pituitary and Thyroid Glands in Preterm and Term Infants

Background Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) maturation has not been extensively evaluated using neonatal MRI, even though both structures are visualized on MRI. Hypothesis That signal intensity and volume of pituitary and thyroid (T) glands on MRI in neonates may be interrelated. Study Type Retrospective. Subjects In all, 102 participants. Field Strength/Sequence 3.0T, T 1 ‐weighted pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition...
