摘要: Abstract Purpose We evaluated the rate of successful characterization gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) present with an increased somatostatin receptor, comparing CE-CT CE-MRI, each in correlation DOTATOC-PET. Methods and materials 8 patients GEP-NET were imaged using CE-MRI (Gd-EOB-DTPA), (Imeron 400) Contrast-enhancement normal liver-tissue metastasis was quantified ROI-technique. Tumor delineation assessed visual-score blind-read-analysis by two experienced radiologists. Results Out 40 liver metastases NETs, all detected lesion extent could be adequately assessed, whereas CT failed to detect 20% metastases. The blind-read-score arterial portal phase median −0.65 −1.4, respectively, 2.7 for delayed-MRI. quantitative ROI-analysis presented improved contrast-enhancement-ratio a 1.2, 1.6 3.3 arterial, portal-phase delayed-MRI respectively. Conclusion Late superior providing additionally morphologic exact extension hepatic from tumor Therefore, late enhanced Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI seems adequate imaging modality combination DOTATOC-PET provide complementary (macroscopic molecular) metastasized NETs.
