Differentiation of Neuroendocrine Tumors from Other Pancreatic Lesions by Echo-Enhanced Power Doppler Sonography and Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy

Abstract

Echo-enhanced power Doppler sonography has high sensitivity and high specificity for the differentiation of neuroendocrine lesions from other pancreatic tumors. However, histologic evidence is the standard of reference for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumors.
