Preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis in nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors from clinical and MRI features: a multicenter study.

The novel MRI-based model considering regular shape of primary tumor and short axis of largest lymph node in the regional area can accurately predict lymph node metastases preoperatively in NF-PNETs patients, which might facilitate the surgeons' decision on risk stratification.
