TI  - Preoperative localization of endocrine pancreatic tumours by intra-arterial 
      dynamic computed tomography.
PG  - 171-5
AB  - Eleven patients with biochemically confirmed endocrine pancreatic tumours were 
      examined with intra-arterial (i.a.) dynamic computed tomography (CT) and 
      angiography preoperatively. Seven of the patients suffered from the multiple 
      endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) syndrome. All patients were operated upon and 
      surgical palpation and ultrasound were the peroperative localization methods. Of 
      the 33 tumours which were found at histopathologic analysis of the resected 
      specimens in the 11 patients, 7 tumours in 7 patients were correctly localized by 
      both i.a. dynamic CT and angiography. Six patients with MEN-1 syndrome had 
      multiple tumours and this group of patients together had 28 tumours, of which 5 
      (18%) were localized preoperatively by both CT and angiography. I.a. dynamic CT, 
      with the technique used by us, does not seem to improve the localization of 
      endocrine pancreatic tumours, especially in the rare group of MEN-1 patients, as 
      compared with angiography.
