Magnetic resonance (MR) occurs in the magnetic system that contains both magnetic moments and angular momentum [1]. Various radiological modalities that had been used to study gland such as computed tomography but MRI has proved to be an accurate diagnostic modality for the assessment of pituitary gland. Normal pituitary gland shows variation in size and shape, transient changes in the shape or signal intensity of the pituitary gland appears at different stages of life [2]. The gland tends to be rounded in shape at birth and becomes more flattened with age. This review study aimed to summarize the author’s articles about the shapes of normal pituitary gland when they are using the magnetic resonance imaging as imaging modalities. Authors discussed and illustrated the various shapes of gland are convex, concave most common in females and the flat shape are common in males.
