Abstract

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.
