Summary

This study is testing a new way to use ultrasound during surgery to help doctors find pituitary adenomas (small tumors) in people with Cushing's disease and other pituitary tumors. About 110 adults having surgery through the nose will get a special contrast-enhanced ultrasound. The goal is to see if this method helps surgeons identify the exact tumor location, so they can remove only the tumor and spare healthy tissue. This is a first step to see if the technique works well enough for a larger trial.
