Résumé

The precise localization of the primary tumor and/or the identification of multiple primary tumors improves the preoperative work-up in patients with small bowel (SB) neuroendocrine tumor (NET). The present study assesses the diagnostic value of F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine (F-FDOPA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) during the preoperative wok-up of SB NETs.
