T1-FLAIR and Gd-enhanced MRI images of a 14-year-old male with severe GHD (a,b) and an 8-year-old male with normal GH function (c,d). The ROIs of the anterior pituitary gland were obtained at the maximum diameter in post-Gd-enhanced coronal T1-FLAIR images (arrow in b and d). The ratios of Gd-enhanced signals in the anterior pituitary gland to white-matter signals in the temporal lobe (signal intensity of the anterior pituitary gland / (signal intensity of the anterior pituitary gland + signal intensity of the right temporal lobe)) were 0.68 and 0.73, respectively
