Introduction: Among all the well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NET) those originating from ileum present the more relevant diagnostic difficulties and remain therefore occult in a relevant percentage of cases in all the stages

Aim(s): to evaluate the effectiveness of enteroclysis Multidetector-row Computed Tomography (E-MDCT) in the diagnosis of ileal NET

Materials and methods: A consecutive series of 956 of E-MDCT and more than 850 NET patients were rewieved for the study. The clinical indications for E-MDCT were 1) presence of carcinoid syndrome 2) NET liver metastases 3) abdominal cramps; 4) bowel obstruction, recurrences; 5) GI bleeding
