title: [The angiographic diagnosis of islet cell tumours. Results in 34 patients (author's transl)].
abstract: Between 1965 and 1979, 34 patients with organic hyperinsulinism were examined angiographically. By observing the following points it should be possible to diagnose tumours greater than 1 cm, whatever their position in the pancreas: 1) Use of high performance generators and tubes which permit one to employ fine focus, low kv and high mAs. 2) Optimum imaging systems (carbon fibre table top, high intensity screens). 3) Selective catheterisation, large quantities of contrast per unit time and adequate duration of the filming sequence. 4) Pharmacoangiography and subtractions may be valuable in some cases.
