The key for molecular imaging is the use of a radiotracer with a radioactive and a functional
component. While the functional component targets a specific feature of the tumor, the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Accurate imaging is crucial for correct diagnosis, staging, and
therapy of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). The search for the optimal imaging …

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) comprise a heterogeneous group of malignancies with a
very variable clinical expression and progression. They present unique properties that are …

In patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), a combination of morphological imaging
and nuclear medicine techniques is mandatory for primary tumour visualization, staging and …

Diagnostic imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis, staging, treatment selection and
follow-up for neuroendocrine tumors. The available diagnostic strategies are morphologic …

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare neoplasms, which are characterized by the
presence of neuroamine uptake mechanisms and/or peptide receptors at the cell membrane …

Molecular imaging has found numerous applications in oncology as many tumours express
or activate tumour specific target molecules or pathways. This relatively new imaging …

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare and heterogeneous tumors, originating mostly
from the gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) tract followed by the lungs. Multidisciplinary …

Molecular imaging, which uses molecular targets due to the overexpression of specific
peptide hormone receptors on the tumour surface, has become an indispensable diagnostic …

Early identification of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is a critical prerequisite to establishing
effective treatment. While substantial advances have occurred in the last two decades, there …
