Overview
Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome caused by gastrinoma. Gastrinomas are frequently multiple and often extrapancreatic (90% located in the gastrinoma triangle). Thus, they can be difficult to locate. For this reason, multiphase contrast enhanced thin slice cross-sectional imaging is ideal. Findings on Abdominal CT scan suggestive of gastrinoma include clearly defined, well-enhanced mass.
Abdominal CT
- Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome caused by gastrinoma. Gastrinomas are frequently multiple and often extrapancreatic (90% located in the gastrinoma triangle). Thus, they can be difficult to locate. For this reason, multiphase contrast-enhanced thin slice cross-sectional imaging is ideal.[1] Findings on Abdominal CT scan suggestive of gastrinoma include clearly defined well-enhanced mass.
- Findings on abdominal CT scan suggestive of gastrinomas include a clearly defined and well-enhanced mass.
- Abdominal CT scan can be used to confirm the location of the cancer and to detect distant metastasis.
