Overview

There are no MRI findings associated with carcinoid syndrome.

MRI

On abdominal MRI, carcinoid syndrome is characterized by:

  • Nodular mass originating from the bowel wall or regional uniform bowel wall thickening with moderate intense enhancement on postgadolinium T1-weighted fat-suppressed images
  • Mesenteric metastases presented as nodular masses with mesenteric stranding
  • Liver metastases may show hypointense precontrast T1- and hyperintense T2-weighted images
  • Liver metastases are commonly hypervascular
