Staging of neuroendocrine tumours: comparison of [68Ga]DOTATOC multiphase PET/CT and whole-body MRI

Staging of neuroendocrine tumours: comparison of [68Ga]DOTATOC multiphase PET/CT and whole-body MRI

PURPOSE In patients with a neuroendocrine tumour (NET), the extent of disease strongly influences the outcome and multidisciplinary therapeutic management. Thus, systematic analysis of the diagnostic performance of the existing staging modalities is necessary. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of 2 whole-body imaging modalities, [(68)Ga]DOTATOC positron emission to...

METHODS Patients recruited to multicentre trials comparing WB-MRI with standard staging scans for lung and colorectal cancer were invited to complete two questionnaires: a baseline questionnaire at recruitment, m...
