Abstract
Objective:
To evaluate the usefulness of intravenous dynamic CT in demonstrating angiographically negative insulinomas.
Materials And Methods:
Two patients with endocrinologic evidence of insulinoma were examined with intravenous bolus-dynamic CT.
Results:
Angiographically negative insulinomas as small as 5-7 mm were demonstrated unequivocally as enhancing nodules.
Conclusion:
Intravenous dynamic CT using larger amounts of contrast material can improve detection of small (< 1.0 cm) insulinomas.
