Overview
MRI scan is helpful in the diagnosis of insulinoma in the case of failed CT. It shows enhancement.
MRI
- MRI scan is helpful in the diagnosis of insulinoma in the case of failed CT.
- T1 C typically shows enhancement, although contrast enhancement may not improve tumor visualization.[1]
T1 and T2 relaxation times for islet cell tumor like insulinoma has lower protein and proton concentration time.[3] Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of insulinoma. Findings on MRI suggestive of Insulinoma include[4][3]: Low in signal intensity on fat suppressed T1-weighted images High on intensity on fat suppressed T2-weighted images independent of lesion size Enhancement patterns are due to hypervascularity. Homogeneous enhancement is exhibited commonly in insulinoma, ring enhancement if they are larger than 2 cm. same pattern can be seen in metastatic lymph node as of the primary; homogeneous when small and ring enhancement if the tumor is more than 2 cm. Modern MRI has rapid tri-phasic, breath held T1 rapid gadolinium- enhanced sequences which help to reduce artifacts produced by motion.[1][3] MRI enables accurate location of the tumor in terms of resectability and involvement of vessels.[1][3]
