===Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS)===
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) may be a sensitive method for the detection of gastric and duodenal carcinoids and may be superior to conventional ultrasound, particularly in the detection of small tumors (2 mm–3 mm) that are localized in the bowel lumen. In one study, the EUS was reported to have an accuracy of 90% for the localization and staging of colorectal carcinoids.

===Positron Emission Tomography (PET)===
 
A promising approach for positron emission tomography (PET) as an imaging modality to visualize gastrointestinal carcinoids appears to be the use of the radioactive-labeled serotonin precursor 11C-5-hydroxytryptophan (11C-5-HTP). With 11C-5-HTP, tumor detection rates have been reported to be as high as 100%, and some investigators have concluded that 11C-5-HTP PET should be used as a universal detection method for detecting NETs.

*Identify the sources of vascular supply

*Provide information regarding vascular invasion
*Provide information regarding [[vascular]] [[invasion]].
===Localization===
Tumour localization may be extremely difficult. Barium swallow and follow-up examination of the intestine may occasionally show the tumour. Capsule video endoscopy has recently been used to localized the tumour. Often laparotomy is the definitive way to localize the tumour.
