Introduction

Overview

Overview

Abdominal ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome caused by gastrinoma.[1]. Ultrasonography can detect gastrinomas in 30%. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a highly sensitive and specific procedure for the localization of pancreatic endocrine tumors and duodenal as well as pancreatic gastrinomas.
