Abstract
Objective: To compare various imaging methods for detecting pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (P-NEN). Methods: Various image data, including CT, MRI, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and PET/CT of 40 patients with P-NEN were retrospectively analyzed and compared with results of surgical operation. The detecting rate of P-NEN of various imaging methods were analyzed statistically. Results: Among 40 patients, there were 43 P-NEN lesions, the detection rate of CT, MRI, endoscopic ultrasonography and PET/CT was 76.74% (33/43), 94.87% (37/39), 94.59% (35/37) and 51.52% (17/33), respectively. The detection rate of MRI and EUS for P-NEN were not statistically different (P>0.05), while statistically significant differences were found between each two other methods (all P<0.05). Conclusion: MRI can be regarded as the preferred imaging method for detecting P-NEN.
