Standard imaging techniques for neuroendocrine tumors

David L Bushnell et al. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2011 Mar.

Abstract

Several diagnostic imaging techniques have been used successfully for evaluating patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). These techniques include computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography/CT, single-photon emission CT (SPECT), and SPECT/CT. This article reviews the various imaging methods and their respective advantages and limitations for use in different types of NETs, in particular carcinoid tumors.
