Guidance for Pediatric Pituitary MRI Ordering: A Single Institution Improvement Initiative

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We identified inconsistencies in the pituitary MRI ordering practices at our pediatric institution. We used an interdepartmental collaboration to develop a pituitary MRI ordering guide based on available evidence and local expertise. The initiative has led to an improvement in the appropriate use of intravenous gadolinium-based contrast agents for pediatric pituitary MRI studies.
