In this issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology, you will find the article “Evaluation of Diffusivity in the Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland: 3D Turbo Field Echo with Diffusion-Sensitized Driven-Equilibrium Preparation” by Hiwatashi et al.[1] I enjoyed reading this article and found it to be a nice “proof of principle” regarding the use of “diffusion-sensitized driven-equilibrium turbo field echo” to image the anterior pituitary gland.[1] In my clinical practice, I have found diffusion-weighted imaging to have particular utility in neuroimaging...well beyond the classic assessment for acute brain ischemia or infarction or pyogenic abscess formation
In terms of DWI, I like to think about its physiologic basis as the diffusion of water
I thought that the authors of the “Evaluation of Diffusivity in the Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland: 3D Turbo Field Echo with Diffusion-Sensitized Driven-Equilibrium Preparation” did a good job at sharing their results and conveying the relative advantages and disadvantages of this technique for this use, at least currently.[1]
