Due to its high sensitivity, somatostatin receptor-PET may detect smaller lesions and more extensive disease than contrast-enhanced MR imaging, while the superior spatial resolution of MR imaging enables lesions to be accurately localized. We compared results of somatostatin receptor-PET/MRI with th...
