"NB: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics will vary depending on MRI hardware and software, radiologist's and referrer's preferences, institutional protocols, patient factors (e.g. contrast media adverse reactions) and time constraints."

Line 4:6 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': This article'.

"The sequences for this purpose should be performed with small FOV (field of view) targeting the sella. A good protocol for this purpose involves at least:"

Line 6:66 · 'FOV' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"sequence: small FOV coronal and sagittal"

Line 11:24 · 'FOV' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"sequence: small FOV coronal, obtained at multiple locations through the pituitary gland (e.g. 6) at multiple timepoints (e.g. 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 seconds)"

Line 25:24 · 'FOV' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"sequence: small FOV coronal and sagittal (same as T1 non-contrast)"

"MRI protocol for pituitary gland is a group of MRI sequences put together to improve sensitivity and specificity for the assessment of lesions of the pituitary gland (e.g. pituitary adenoma) and other sellar and suprasellar abnormalities (check the article on pituitary region masses for some examples)."

Line 1:194 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"sequence: small FOV coronal, obtained at multiple locations through the pituitary gland (e.g. 6) at multiple timepoints (e.g. 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 seconds)"

"Some institutions also include some whole brain sequences (e.g. DWI/ADC and FLAIR)."
