a

+ indicates increased value (for quantitative measurement of the pituitary height); +, positive (for qualitative signs).

b

Maximum normal pituitary height is 5.6 mm (men), 6.9 mm (women, 16–40 years of age), 5.8 mm (women, 41–62 years of age), and 6.0 mm (women, >62 years of age).10

c

ICC and κ values were computed for the results of 3 readers.
