Background:

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms.
Standardized diagnostic imaging workflows are crucial for accurate NET diagnosis and management.
Existing diagnostic pathways for NETs can be complex and vary significantly.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish expert consensus recommendations for diagnostic imaging workflows in patients with suspected neuroendocrine tumors.
To provide clear, actionable guidance for clinicians involved in NET diagnosis.
To standardize the approach to imaging for various types of NETs.

Main Methods:

Development of recommendations through a consensus process involving researchers specializing in neuroendocrine tumors.
Creation of detailed workflow charts outlining imaging strategies.
Inclusion of specific NET subtypes and clinical scenarios.

Main Results:

Presentation of workflow charts for pancreatic NETs (functional and nonfunctional, including insulinoma).
Inclusion of workflow charts for Gastrinomas and ECL cell tumors.
Detailed workflows for assessing unknown primary NETs and metastases in the gastrointestinal tract.

Conclusions:

The developed workflow charts offer a standardized approach to diagnosing neuroendocrine tumors.
These guidelines facilitate more accurate and efficient diagnosis of NETs.
The standardized workflows can also aid in the design and execution of controlled clinical studies for NETs.
