The imaging of intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) relies on functional positron emission tomography (PET) tracers; these tumours can be studied by means of both 68Ga‐DOTA peptides and 18F‐fluorodihydroxyphenyl‐ l‐alanine (18F‐DOPA) PET/computed tomography (CT). As yet, it is unclear which of these two modalities offers the better sensitivity. We therefore conducted a meta‐analysis to assess the available data.
