Overview

There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].

OR

[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

CT scan

Sensitivity of CT scan for diagnosing insulinoma is 33-64%[1]

  • Abdominal Contrast enhanced CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of insulinoma. Findings on CT scan suggestive of insulinoma include[1]:
    • greater degree of enhancement than parenchyma of the rest of pancreas(as its hypervascular)during the vascular phases of the contrast
    • atypically can appear hypovascular and hypodense lesions after the administration of contrast, as compared to hyperdense lesions before the administration; cystic masses, and calcified masses(in malignant lesions when they are nodular and discrete)
