The most efficient ( in my opinion) diagnostic tool for NETs is Ga-68 Dotatate PET scan. But, a caviat - it detects functioning NETs (secreting Serotonin), because it relies on these receptors.
The usual F-18 DeoxyGlucose PET scan is the first " line of defense", as it shows organ abnormalities due to cancer cells absorbing radioactive glucese at a higher rate
