Limitations
One of the limitations of our study was that our data set that looked at
postoperative MRI outcomes for residual tumors, was seen in a smaller
sample size of n=19 compared to our initial group of n=56 patients that
underwent iMRI. A larger sample size may allow for a better
understanding of postoperative residual tumor occurrence amongst
patients undergoing iMRI for resection of pituitary tumors. We suggest
that this be studied further.
