Overview
There are no other imaging findings associated with [disease name].
OR
[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Imaging Findings
Positron Emission Tomography
- Positron emitting radioisotopes of Gallium such as 68 Gallium-DOTATAC, 68 Gallium-DOTATATE, and 68 Gallium-DOTANAC can be used to detect the uptakes in areas of increased somatostatin receptors. The sensitivity is increased when it is coupled with CT scan although it is not approved for routine use in the United States. It is mainly used for investigation purpose.[1][2][3]
- Positron Emission Tomography(PET) may be helpful in the diagnosis of insulinoma. Findings on a PET scan suggestive of insulinoma include:
- Increased uptake in the affected part of the pancreas.
- Metastasis can also be detected in the same way
Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy
- Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy(SRS) may be helpful in the diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors including insulinomas. As many insulinomas does not express somatostatin subtype 2 receptors, it is less sensitive(50-60%).[4][5] [6][7][8]
Findings on an SRS suggestive of insulinoma include:
- Increased uptake of pentetereotride(synthetic somatostatin analogue)
- Increased uptake in sites of metastasis, commonly in hepatic involvement
