Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors of the gallbladder are aggressive but can be difficult to distinguish from other gallbladder tumors on imaging. FDG PET/MR imaging can improve anatomic characterization of gallbladder tumors and detect the spread of neuroendocrine tumors into adjacent structures as they are intensely FDG avid.
