Clinical Application of MAGiC Method in Distinguishing Between Pituitary Adenoma and Rathke’s Cleft Cyst by Ra Gyoung Yoon, Boeun Lee, Moon jung Hwang, Soo Jeong Park

“…The R1 relaxation rate demonstrated superior diagnostic performance, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.74 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.65–0.82), surpassing the R2 rate (AUC 0.62; 95% CI: 0.52–0.71). The optimal threshold for R1 was determined to be 0.82, which provided a sensitivity of 79.6% and specificity of 74.1% (<i>p</i> < 0.001), whereas the optimal threshold for R2 was 14.89 (<i>p</i> = 0.030). …”
