Overview

Other imaging studies for carcinoid tumor include somatostatin scintigraphy with 111Indium-octreotide, bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTcMDP), 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, capsule endoscopy (CE), enteroscopy, and angiography.

Other Imaging Findings

Other imaging modalities for gastrointestinal carcinoids include the use of:[1]

Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy

Bone Scintigraphy

Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS)

Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography

  • PET-CT scan is now playing an ever-increasing role in both localizing disseminated cancer and monitoring the disease response to systemic therapies.[4]
  • Carcinoid-specific agents includes: 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan (5-HTP),64Cu-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclo-tetradecane-N,N′,N″, N‴-tera-acetic acid (TETA-OC) and 18F-dopa have been used.

Angiography

MRI angiography has replaced angiography to a large extent. However, selective angiography may be useful to:

  • Demonstrate the degree of tumor vascularity
  • Identify the sources of vascular supply
  • Delineate the relationship of the tumor to adjacent major vascular structures
  • Provide information regarding vascular invasion
