The diagnostic work-up of these tumours include Computed Tomography (CT), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The majority of these tumours express somatostatin receptors on their surface. For this reason, in addition to traditional imaging exams, diagnostic work-up of GEP-NETs should include a Positron Emission Tomography/CT with 68Ga labeled somatostatin analogues targeting somatostatin receptors with high sensitivity and specificity. 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT scan is a corner stone to assess GEP- NET patients at different stage of disease and it is the standard functional imaging modality to study well-differentiated Pan-NETs, as reported in the being also included in the guidelines of the Europe
