Prediction and Diagnosis of Bone Metastases in Well-Differentiated Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic Endocrine Cancer: A Prospective Comparison of Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy

Abstract

We recommend bone staging with SRS and spine MRI in all patients with bronchial-thymic or unknown primary WD-GEP-EC. In case of duodeno-pancreatic or ileal primary, bone imaging may be restricted to patients with liver metastases.
