Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Lauren Gratian, a clinical endocrinologist at Duke Medical Center, provides a step-by-step method for reading pituitary MRIs. In step one, coronal and sagittal images are reviewed to determine the size and shape of the lesion. Step two involves describing the location of the mass within the cella and checking for extension into surrounding structures. Step three focuses on reviewing pre- and post-contrast T1-weighted images to determine the signal intensity and contrast enhancement patterns of the mass. Different examples and their interpretations are provided, including measurements, location descriptions, and differential diagnosis considerations. The video concludes with credits to Dr. Lauren Gratian.
