    Angiography is the most accurate method for localizing insulinomas, especially smaller pancreatic tumors. Noninvasive imaging like CT and sonography are less effective for detecting these tumors but may help identify hepatic metastases.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Hyperinsulinism is a condition characterized by excessive insulin production.
    • Identifying the source of insulin overproduction is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Pancreatic tumors (insulinomas) are a common cause of hyperinsulinism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different imaging modalities in localizing the source of insulin production in patients with hyperinsulinism.
    • To compare the diagnostic accuracy of angiography, computed tomography (CT), and sonography.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 21 patients with hyperinsulinism.
    • Utilized angiography, CT, and sonography to identify pancreatic tumors and hepatic metastases.
    • Correlated imaging findings with surgical and pathological results.

    Main Results:

    • Angiography identified 16 out of 19 pancreatic tumors.
    • CT detected 6 tumors in 14 patients, while sonography identified only 3 out of 12.
    • Noninvasive methods were less sensitive for smaller lesions but showed potential for detecting hepatic metastases.

    Conclusions:

    • Angiography remains the gold standard for localizing smaller pancreatic tumors causing hyperinsulinism.
    • CT and sonography have limitations in detecting insulinomas but may assist in identifying metastatic disease.
    • Further research into advanced noninvasive imaging techniques is warranted.
