Research Article: Minimizing unnecessary brain magnetic resonance imaging in pediatric endocrinology: a retrospective cohort analysis

Date Published: 2024-09-03

Abstract:
Background: Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is mandatory or highly recommended in many pediatric endocrinological conditions to detect causative anatomic anomalies and rule out neoplastic lesions. However, MRI can also show findings associated with the underlying clinical condition, as well as unrelated “incidentalomas”. These latter findings are often abnormalities with a high incidence in the general population for which there is no clear literature regarding their management, especially in pediatric patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the number of unnecessary performed MRIs in pediatric endocrinology.
