Overview

[Location] MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

OR

There are no MRI findings associated with [disease name]. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

MRI

MRI is superior in detecting insulinoma in that it has greater sensitivity currently ~85%. In a study of 21 insulinomas by Owen et al,the sensitivity was noted to be 94%.(19/21 cases). The 2 cases were [1][2]
