Measuring degeneration of the lateral geniculate nuclei from pituitary adenoma compression detected by 7T ultra-high field MRI: a method for predicting vision recovery following surgical decompression of the optic chiasm. These include contrast-enhanced balanced steady-state free precession imaging [[8]], degeneration assessment of the lateral geniculate nuclei [[9]], and pre-surgical diffusion tensor imaging for microstructural integrity of the optic chiasm [[10]], just to name a few.
