What is Digital X-Ray of Skull for Sella Turcica/Pituitary Fossa Lateral view?

A Digital X-ray of the Skull for the Sella Turcica/Pituitary Fossa in the Lateral view is an imaging procedure focused on capturing a side-profile image of the skull, specifically targeting the sella turcica area where the pituitary gland resides. This view helps diagnose abnormalities, such as tumors, cysts, or changes in the size or shape of the pituitary fossa, which could affect pituitary function.

The patient is positioned in a lateral (side) position, and minimal preparation is required, like removing metal objects. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and painless.

A radiologist analyzes the image to provide insights for diagnosis and further treatment if necessary.
