Abstract
MRI is the preferred radiologic modality for evaluating the pituitary gland. An important component of pituitary MRI examinations is dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Compared to conventional dynamic techniques, golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) imaging offers multiple advantages, including the ability to achieve higher spatial and temporal resolution. In this narrative review, we discuss dynamic imaging of the pituitary gland, the technical fundamentals of GRASP, and applications of GRASP to the pituitary gland.
