Enhanced High-Resolution Sagittal MRI of Normal Pinneal Glands J Comput Assist Tomogr 18:182-186, Inoue,Y.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Pineal glands were either solid(40%)or cystic(60%)with various enhancement patterns;diffuse(15%)and partially enhanced(25%)in solid and ring-like (20%)and peripherally partial(40%)in cystic.Their diameter exceeded 10 mm but was<20 mm in five cases and resembled cystic pineal neoplasms,Two such cases were found to be histologically normal.Information on the appearance and enhancement patterns of normal pineal glands on MR images can improve the accuracy of diagnosing space-occupying lesions in the pineal region and perhaps help to prevent unnecessary surgery.
