Overview

Abdominal CT scan may be diagnostic of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastrinoma 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.[1]

Abdominal CT

Findings on abdominal CT scan suggestive of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome include:

  • clearly defined, well-enhanced mass

It can confirm the location of the cancer, as well as distant organs where the cancer might have spread.
