Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors that differ in their pathogenesis, hormonal syndromes produced, biological behavior and consequently, in their requirement for and/or response to specific chemotherapeutic agents and molecular targeted therapies. Various imaging techniques are available for functional and morphological evaluation of these neoplasms and the selection of investigations performed in each patient should be customized to the clinical question. Also, with the increased availability of cross sectional imaging, these neoplasms are increasingly being detected incidentally in routine radiology practice. This article is a review of the various imaging modalities currently used in the evaluation of neuroendocrine neoplasms, along with a discussion of the role of advanced imaging techniques and a glimpse into the newer imaging horizons, mostly in the research stage.
胃肠胰神经内分泌肿瘤是一组异质性肿瘤，它们在发病机制、产生的激素综合征、生物学行为等方面存在差异，因此对特定的化疗药物和分子靶向治疗的需求和/或反应也存在差异。各种影像学技术可用于这些肿瘤的功能和形态评估，在每个患者中进行的检查选择应根据临床问题进行定制。此外，随着横断面成像的普及，这些肿瘤在常规放射学实践中越来越多地被偶然发现。本文回顾了目前用于评估神经内分泌肿瘤的各种影像学方法，并讨论了先进影像学技术的作用以及对新的成像领域的展望，这些主要处于研究阶段。
