BACKGROUND: Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas have a broad biological spectrum. The treatment decision is based on an optimal diagnosis with regard to the local findings and possible locoregional and distant metastases. In addition to purely morphologic imaging procedures, functional parameters are playing an increasingly important role in imaging.
OBJECTIVES: Prerequisites for optimal imaging of the pancreas, technical principles are provided, and the advantages and disadvantages of common cross-sectional imaging techniques as well as clinical indications for these special imaging methods are discussed.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Guidelines, basic and review papers will be analyzed.
RESULTS: Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas have a broad imaging spectrum. Therefore, there is a need for multimodality imaging in which morphologic and functional techniques support each other. While positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can determine the presence of one or more lesions and its/their functional status of the tumor, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) efficiently identifies the location, relationship to the main duct and the presence of liver metastases. CT allows a better vascular evaluation, even in the presence of anatomical variants as well as sensitive detection of lung metastases.
CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of the optimal combination of imaging modalities including clinical and histopathologic results and dedicated imaging techniques is essential to achieve an accurate diagnosis to optimize treatment decision-making and to assess therapy response.
