Core Tip

Core Tip: Machine learning (ML) has seen an explosion of interest in medical imaging because of its capability of analyzing large amounts of data. Recent studies applied ML techniques to the imaging of pituitary adenomas. The purpose of our review was to describe the main concepts in ML and its current and potential applications in imaging analysis of pituitary tumors.
