Sixty\u2010one children with GHD diagnosed and treated between December 2018 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in terms of clinical and pituitary morphological MRI data. MRI measurements of various diameters of the adenohypophysis (AH) were obtained to analyze the differences of the measured values in different genders and age groups, as well as their relationship with the GH peak in GH stimulation tests. Among the 61 children with GHD, the superior PG margin was protuberant in 2 cases, flat in 13 cases, and concave in 46 cases. The three age groups showed similar pituitary morphology and stalk (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; 0.05). On T1\u2010weighted images, the proportion of isointensity was lower while the proportion of slightly\u2010low signal intensity was higher in the anterior pituitary gland (APG) of children aged &gt;10 compared with those aged 7\u201310. The comparison of AH linear parameters and GH peak values of male patients among different age groups showed that the anteroposterior (sagittal) diameter of AH and GH peak were the highest in the &gt;10\u2010year\u2010old group and the lowest in the \u22646\u2010year\u2010old group, with those of the 7\u201310\u2010year\u2010old group in between (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). In females, the anteroposterior (sagittal) diameter and GH peak were higher in the 7\u201310\u2010year\u2010old group and &gt;10\u2010year\u2010old group compared with the \u22646\u2010year\u2010old group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The MRI coronal and sagittal heights of PG in children with GHD were positively correlated with the GH peak value. In conclusion, in GHD patients, the coronal and sagittal heights as well as the coronal width of AH do not change with sex or age, but the coronal and sagittal heights of PG are positively correlated with the GH peak of GH stimulation tests, which has high application value in the diagnosis of children with GHD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/3111585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]],"date-time":"2022-08-10T15:50:30Z","timestamp":1660146630000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["MRI Findings of Pituitary Gland in Growth Hormone\u2010Deficient Children and Their Correlation with Growth Hormone Peak during Growth Hormone Stimulation Tests"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2713-1516","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9837-8746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaofei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chengyong","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siwen","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/er.2018-00216"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5359.40578"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.49.11.904"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/eje.0.1410595"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s2213-8587(18)30034-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.23736\/s0026-4946.20.05821-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000375529"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beem.2016.11.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000444143"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem.85.11.6984"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11102-011-0321-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/jpem.2000.13.6.629"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2265.2002.01605.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-011-1594-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_2","first-page":"147","article-title":"Growth hormone deficiency: diagnosis and treatment","volume":"60","author":"de Muinck Keizer-Schrama S.
