FDG-PET and 7 T MRI characteristics of a canine pituitary microtumor. Transverse (1), dorsal (2), and sagittal (3) images at the level of the pituitary gland are pictured from left to right. a On pre-contrast T1-WI, the hyperintense neurohypophysis (arrow) was displaced in the left-dorsal direction by the arcuate adenohypophysis with hypointensity (arrowheads). b On PET images, high FDG uptake is represented by reddish to yellowish color, while low uptake is represented by bluish to greenish color. Glucose metabolism of the pituitary gland (arrowheads) was relatively lower than that of the cerebral cortex and the white matter. c The anatomical location of the pituitary gland (arrowheads) was clearly identified by combining 7 T MRI images with PET images
