Radiology

A variety of imaging modalities are used to help establish the site of the primary tumour and to document the extent of the disease. Cross-sectional imaging (CT or MRI) (Figure 31.3) is used commonly while endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound and selective venous sampling are useful in selected cases, especially in patients with pancreatic disease. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SSRS; Octreoscan®) is used widely, not only to define the extent of disease, but also to determine suitability for somatostatin analogue therapy and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.
