Rathke’s cleft cysts: differentiation from other cystic lesions in the pituitary fossa by use of single-shot fast spin-echo diffusion-weighted MR imaging

摘要

Objective. Rathke’s cleft cysts are often difficult to differentiate from other sellar cystic lesions using conventional MR imaging. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of single-shot fast spin-echo (SSFSE) diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of a Rathke’s cleft cyst.
