Thin-Slice Pituitary MRI with Deep Learning-Based Reconstruction for Preoperative Prediction of Cavernous Sinus Invasion by Pituitary Adenoma: A Prospective Study.

Compared with 3-mm-slice-thickness MRI, 1-mm-slice-thickness MRI + deep learning-based reconstruction showed a higher diagnostic performance in preoperatively predicting cavernous sinus invasion by pituitary adenomas and demonstrated a greater depth and degree of contact in relation to the carotid artery.
