Carcinoid tumours are slow-growing neuroendocrine tumours that can develop in the digestive tract, lungs, or other organs. They often cause no symptoms for years. An MRI may show changes in abdominal or chest organs consistent with a carcinoid tumour. Finding a carcinoid tumour early may allow for treatment before it spreads or causes hormonal complications. MRI is effective for detecting and characterising carcinoid tumours, particularly hepatic metastases and primary tumours in the pancreas and bowel.
