![]() ![]() Tumors with a higher grade or poorly differentiated tend to show marked uptake 8-10. ![]() Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing tumors that usually have slow metabolic activity in their initial stages and, therefore, are not notably avid on F-18 FDG PET-CT 9. PET-CT is also useful in excluding additional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors eventually not detected on CT or MRI, particularly, in inherited syndromes such as MEN1 8. The sensitivity of this study has been reported in up to 90% 8, when assessing insulinomas specifically, and ranging between 90-100% for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors as whole 9.
