Our purpose was to compare the sensitivity of whole body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) for the diagnosis of bone metastases (BMs) in patients with well-differentiated gastro-entero-pancreatic endocrine cancer (WD-GEP-EC) and to determine predictive factors of BM.
