Multidetector computed tomography and neuroendocrine XXXX .

PURPOSE: To investigate the accuracy of dedicated pancreatic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the @entity5 (NPTs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: MDCT and other imaging studies in @entity1 with suspected NPTs were identified. Thirty dedicated MDCT studies were done in 23 @entity1 . Fourteen @entity1 (16 operations) subsequently had surgery. Imaging reports were reviewed and findings compared with surgical findings and findings in other imaging studies. RESULTS: @entity1 with surgery: 19 NPTs (16 extrapancreatic @entity7581 and 3 pancreatic NPTs) were identified at surgery. MDCT identified 16 and @entity1943 receptor scintigraphy (SRS) 11 out of 19 @entity5 . Endoscopic ultrasound detected 11 out of 14 NPTs. @entity1 without surgery: In 4 out of 9 @entity1 , no NPTs were identified at MDCT. CONCLUSION: Dedicated MDCT of the pancreas can identify many NPTs, including small duodenal and @entity5 , and the detection rate is better than reported in the older literature on CT.
