CT and SRS are complementary in making the diagnosis of SBNET, with CT giving more precise anatomical detail, while SRS helps to confirm that lesions are NETs and is useful for identifying occult extrahepatic sites of metastatic disease. However, 10-15 % of SBNETs were not identified by either test preoperatively, and therefore surgical exploration still plays an important role in making the diagnosis in these patients.
