Overview
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name].
OR
Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an echocardiography/ultrasound suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of insulinoma. The senstivity varies from 0-66%. Smaller tumor are difficult to detect especially those on pancraes tail. Findings on a transabdominal ultrasound suggestive of insulinoma include[1]
- Low echogenicity
- Hypervascularity on the Doppler
- An ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of malignant insulinoma, which include:
- liver metastasis
Endoscopic Ultrasound
This is an invasive ultrasound. [1] [2]
