Summary

This study tests whether a special PET scan (18FET) can find small pituitary tumors that standard MRI scans miss. About 30 adults with suspected hormone-secreting pituitary tumors will receive the scan. If it works, it could help doctors decide on surgery or radiation without needing more invasive tests.
