Role of Preoperative Computed Tomography (CT) in Diagnostics and Disease Stage of Small Bowel NEN: Correlation with Pathology Based on pTNM WHO 2010 Classification

#1411

Introduction: SbNEN are difficult to diagnose on standard CT without bowel preparation. Knowledge about specific radiological signs is essential.

Aim(s): To evaluate the usefulness of CT in detection and staging of sbNEN based on pTNM (WHO 2010).

Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 71pts from initially 117pts with pathologically proven sbNEN, 46 of them were excluded. Specific radiological signs of primary tumor, and stage of disease were evaluated using index scale and correlated with pathology. Separate analysis evaluated technical aspects of CT scans.
