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.
我们发现了我们儿科机构在垂体 MRI 检查方面的医嘱实践存在不一致的地方。我们利用跨部门合作,根据现有证据和本地专业知识制定了垂体 MRI 检查医嘱指南。这一举措提高了儿科垂体 MRI 研究中静脉注射钆类造影剂的合理使用。
