Abstract

Dual phase contrast enhanced spiral computed tomography (DPSCT) has the potential to improve detection of small insulin secreting islet cell tumours of the pancreas. Seven patients with biochemically proven insulinoma, who had previously undergone a range of negative radiological procedures, were referred for DPSCT. Images of the pancreas were obtained using 3 mm collimation in the arterial and arteriovenous perfusion phase following the rapid injection of contrast medium. Six tumours were localized in seven patients. The six insulinomas identified on DPSCT ranged in size from 6 mm to 18 mm and were located in the uncinate process (2), head (1), neck (2) and body (1). All six tumours were detected in the arterial phase and four in the arteriovenous phase. The four insulinomas detected on both perfusion phases were more conspicuous in the arterial phase in three patients and more conspicuous in the arteriovenous phase in one patient. In conclusion, high resolution arterial phase acquisition of the pancreas is very valuable in the detection of small insulinomas.
