Imaging procedures in neuroendocrine tumours
1Department of Radiology, Charité Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. jens@charite.de
Purpose:
To give recommendations for diagnostic imaging workflow in suspected neuroendocrine tumours.
Materials And Methods:
Recommendations for imaging workflow were elaborated by consensus of researchers in neuroendocrine tumours.
Results:
Workflow charts are presented for: (1) nonfunctional and functional endocrine tumours of the pancreas (except insulinoma); (2) insulinoma; (3) ECL cell tumour; (4) assessment of unknown primaries in functional and nonfunctional neuroendocrine tumours of the gut; (5) assessment of metastases in functional and nonfunctional neuroendocrine tumours of the gut.
Conclusions:
The workflow charts facilitate diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumours as well as the design of controlled studies.
