We assess imaging features of primary pituitary disease at the time of diagnosis, temporal evolution of local disease, and distant metastasis on multimodality imaging. We also explore potential association of initial pathology diagnosis and time to metastasis and survival.ResultsAt the time of metastasis, nine patients had evidence of disease in the sella and three additional had evidence of disease in the cavernous sinus. The most common site of metastatic disease was the CNS (78.6%). Dural deposits were the most common brain CNS metastatic disease manifestation (81.8%).

Recent advancements in accelerated flat panel CT (Acc-FPCT) available with latest generation angiography systems addressed traditional limitations of CBCT by significantly decreasing scan time. This study evaluates the diagnostic performance and radiation dose of Acc-FPCT compared to HR-MSCT in postoperative CI evaluation.MethodsFive cadaveric whole-head specimens (ten temporal bones) were operated on by an ENT surgeon. Ten CIs were inserted via cochleostomy. Post-operatively, specimens were scanned using six Acc-FPCT protocols and HR-MSCT. Three neuroradiologists assessed the image quality of FPCT protocols in comparison to HR-MSCT using a 5-point Likert scale. Seven electrode characteristics including scalar position and discernibility of individual contacts were evaluated.
