Logistic regression analysis showing advantage of the AP dimension over other geometric criteria determining the appropriateness of using contrast in pituitary MRIs. The forest plot of the odds ratios (OR) of a lack of correct diagnosis of pituitary lesions in a conventional MRI examination (common pre- and post-contrast sequences) includes the following risk factors: antero-posterior pituitary dimension (AP), cranio-caudal dimension (CC), transverse dimension (TR), and gland volume (V). The forest plot based on logistic regression analysis clearly shows that only the AP dimension, which does not cross the line of no difference (1.0 value), is statistically significant in contrast to the other dimensions (CC, TR) and gland volume (V).
