The Pituitary Program is a destination center for the clinical management of pituitary, parasellar, and anterior skull base disease delivering state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary care. It is the referral center for the state of Connecticut for treatment of complex pituitary and sellar-parasellar pathology using the expertise of minimally invasive endoscopic skull base surgery jointly performed by neurosurgery and ENT. Patient cases are reviewed by a multidisciplinary pituitary tumor board, with intraoperative hormone monitoring, intraoperative MRI, and whole exome sequencing of tumors for potential genomic-based diagnosis and treatment. The Yale endocrinology team and other supporting subspecialties follow each patient during the hospitalization for uninterrupted endocrine care. We aim to maximize the quality of care and the ultimate outcome of each patient. To ensure the best care possible, we co-manage the pituitary disorder with each patient’s primary care physician, and actively seek second opinions, exploring dynamic testing and pituitary hormone replacement therapy options. Yale New Haven Hospital is a regional center for pituitary surgery, and our physicians have specific expertise in treating a variety of neuroendocrine diseases, including Cushing's disease and adult growth hormone deficiency syndrome. We also evaluate and treat reproductive disorders in collaboration with the sections of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Additionally, we work closely with colleagues in neurosurgery, surgical endocrinology, therapeutic radiology, and other departments to make sure patients benefit from our patient-centered, team-based approach. Combined with first-rate technology at Yale New Haven Hospital, the Yale Cancer Center and the Department of Neurosurgery’s Gamma Knife Center, the Pituitary Program is uniquely positioned to offer every diagnostic and treatment option available, including: Dynamic pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an enhanced diagnostic imaging technique Inferior petrosal sinus sampling to sample hormones from the veins that drain the pituitary gland 3-D conformal radiotherapy to better target tumors Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, an advanced high-precision technique Transphenoidal surgery performed through the nose and sphenoid sinus Gamma Knife surgery (stereotactic radiosurgery) performed at the Gamma Knife Center, the only dedicated Gamma Knife facility in Connecticut. At Yale New Haven Children's Hospital, our longstanding pediatric endocrinology clinic provides the same services and excellence of care that adults receive.

Our uncompromising faculty and staff are dedicated to the welfare of children and adolescents. One of two major pediatric centers in Connecticut, Yale offers an extensive range of services for patients through our 14 specialties. In addition, we have several interdisciplinary centers and programs that involve collaborations with multiple departments throughout Yale Medicine and Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital. Thanks to our reputation for comprehensive pediatric care, we serve as a regional and national center for referral and consultation. Many of our physicians are internationally recognized for their innovative approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of conditions including arrhythmias, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, childhood cancers, juvenile diabetes, dyslexia, blood disorders, infectious diseases, and complications of premature birth, as well as many other disorders. We are leaders in the global pediatric community, advocates for childhood health and development, and innovators in research. We rank among the top pediatric centers in the country with respect to National Institutes of Health support for research.

We are committed to providing patient-focused, evidence-based care to all of our patients, pairing clinical expertise with the latest advances in technology. We offer a comprehensive range of imaging services, and tailor each exam to meet each patient’s specific needs. Our board-certified doctors are national and international leaders in diagnostic imaging and advanced image-guided therapies, and they are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care in patient safety, quality, and satisfaction. We employ a multidisciplinary approach to care, and collaborate with physicians from all medical specialties to make the most accurate diagnosis and determine the best treatment options. Yale patients have access to highly advanced imaging equipment, including an intraoperative MRI/IR/OR suite, and 3D tomosynthesis. Our radiologists conduct advanced research in MRI, MRS, PET, interventional oncology, and image processing. Specialized care is offered in the following areas: Abdominal imaging Breast imaging Cardiovascular imaging Emergency and trauma radiology Neuroradiology Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging (including PET/CT) Pediatric radiology Thoracic imaging Vascular/interventional radiology Rapid, in-house subspecialist imaging interpretations Overnight coverage by three in-house attending radiologists at Yale New Haven Hospital Leader in 3D tomosynthesis mammography imaging and research Leader in screening breast ultrasound Comprehensive multidisciplinary lung cancer screening program with ultra-low-dose CT scanning Cardiac CoreValue planning service, providing a minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve implantation option for patients with severe aortic stenosis MRI for pacemaker patients Ultrasound contrast and elastography imaging Dedicated peripheral vascular ultrasound Integrated musculoskeletal ultrasound device Subspecialized pediatric interventional radiology expertise Recognized expertise in management of primary and secondary liver cancer Molecular imaging for recurrent prostate cancer and the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease Advanced tumor imaging for optimizing best treatment outcomes DaTscan, a diagnostic test for Parkinson’s Disease Portable neuro Intensive Care Unit (ICU) computed tomography (CT) scanning Interventional radiology with state-of-the-art minimally invasive image-guided therapy, including targeted and precision cancer treatments, back pain treatment, and biliary stone laser treatment, among others
