The clinical value of MRI using single-shot echoplanar DWI to identify liver involvement in patients with advanced gastroenteropancreatic-neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), compared to FSE T2 and FFE T1 weighted image after i.v. Gd-EOB-DTPA contrast enhancement

Abstract

There were no significant differences among the 3 different MRI approaches in detection rates of liver deposits. Perfect agreement with high detection rate of liver deposits provides a rationale for the use of EP DWI in follow-up studies in GEP-NET patients.
