Radiological Advances in Pancreatic Islet Transplantation.
Academic Radiology 2019 January 30
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by hyperglycemia, owing to the loss of pancreatic β cells in response to an autoimmune reaction leading to a state of absolute insulin deficiency. T1DM treatment is shifting from exogenous insulin replacement therapy toward pancreatic β-cell replacement, to restore physiologically responsive insulin secretion to variations in blood glucose levels. β-cell replacement strategies include human whole pancreas transplantation, islet transplantation with cell encapsulation and bioengineered pancreas. Interventional radiology and imaging modalities including positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and molecular imaging are imperative to enable successful β-cell replacement. Herein, the role of radiological modalities in the treatment of T1DM and its prospective use for noninvasive post-transplantation graft monitoring is discussed.
