Surveying Current Practices in the Use of Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents for Routine Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of Isolated Growth Hormone Deficiency among US Pediatric Endocrinologists.
Introduction: This survey investigates brain MRI practices for isolated GHD among Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) members, focusing on gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) versus non-contrast MRI.
Methods: A 15-question survey was distributed to 1,553 PES members, capturing data on GBCA usage, non-contrast imaging access, and awareness of gadolinium retention.
Results: A total of 85% of respondents routinely order brain MRIs for isolated GHD, with 60% using GBCAs. Most respondents have access to high-resolution non-contrast imaging, though 54% are unaware of gadolinium retention risks.
Conclusion: High-resolution non-contrast MRI demonstrates diagnostic efficacy, suggesting a shift away from GBCAs in clinic practice for isolated GHD. The survey forms the basis to update PES guidelines in the evaluation of isolated GHD.
期刊介绍:
The mission of ''Hormone Research in Paediatrics'' is to improve the care of children with endocrine disorders by promoting basic and clinical knowledge. The journal facilitates the dissemination of information through original papers, mini reviews, clinical guidelines and papers on novel insights from clinical practice. Periodic editorials from outstanding paediatric endocrinologists address the main published novelties by critically reviewing the major strengths and weaknesses of the studies.
