[[Positron emission tomography]]/CT may be useful to detect tumors in patients with equivocal MRI results.

[[11C methionine positron emission tomography]] PET/CT can provide valuable diagnostic information when F-[[FDG]] PET/CT yields negative results, especially in patients with recurrent microadenomas
