The potentialities of diagnosis of pituitary adenomas using radiation techniques are analyzed on the basis of a material comprising 456 cases with this abnormality. The potentialities of CT and classical X-ray diagnoses are compared and recommendations are given for specific cases when, despite CT, routine craniograms must be made. The involvement and contribution of CT in the diagnosis of pituitary adenomas are considered. The results from the application of a fixed and mobile CT mounts are presented. At the same time the possibilities of achieving a greater efficiency by employing its mobile mount by the author's protocol are emphasized.
