Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors containing areas of iso- or hypoattenuation in dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography: Spectrum of imaging findings and pathological grading

Highlights • Most iso/hypo-PNETs show a rapid enhancement pattern, as well as hyper-PNETs. • Iso/hypo-PNETs show various radiological features compared to hyper-PNETs. • Iso/hypo-PNETs show higher pathological grading than hyper-PNETs.
