Clinical and laboratory tests suggested endogenous hyper-insulinemic hypoglycemia in female patient, so volume perfusion CT (VPCT) was performed for further evaluation.

A 23-year-old female patient, suffering from frequent hypoglycemic attacks, was referred to our institution for suspected hyper-functioning pancreatic endocrine tumor. Clinical and laboratory tests suggested endogenous hyper-insulinemic hypoglycemia. Because previous imaging was unable to localize the tumor, Volume Perfusion CT (VPCT) of the pancreas was ordered by the clinician for insulinoma localization.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
