Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) constitute a large group of diverse neoplasms with a wide spectrum of clinical, imaging, and pathologic findings. Imaging diagnosis of NETs can be challenging, and several complementary imaging modalities may be needed during the diagnostic workup. Accurate interpretation of the imaging findings is important to facilitate diagnosis and contribute to patient management. This article discusses the gastrointestinal site-specific features and the tumor-specific features of several NETs and the role of several imaging modalities such as computed tomography, MR imaging, ultrasonography, and positron emission tomography in the evaluation of these NETs.
神经内分泌肿瘤（NETs）是一大类具有广泛临床、影像学和病理表现的不同肿瘤。NETs的影像学诊断具有挑战性，在诊断检查过程中可能需要几种互补的影像学检查方法。准确解读影像学表现对于促进诊断和有助于患者管理很重要。本文讨论了几种NETs的胃肠道部位特异性特征和肿瘤特异性特征，以及计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像、超声检查和正电子发射断层扫描等几种影像学检查方法在评估这些NETs中的作用。
