Résumé

Computed tomography scan is the current standard cross-sectional imaging modality for neuroendocrine tumor (NET) workup. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has proven to be more sensitive than standard sequences to diagnose liver metastases; whole-body DW-MRI may be more sensitive than whole-body MRI. Clinical implications have not yet been assessed. Thus, we evaluated radiological and clinical contributions of liver and whole-body DW-MRI to manage NETs.
