Test endometriosis using special PET/MRI scans before laparoscopy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study checks whether a special PET scan and MRI can better identify endometriosis before you have a planned surgery to look inside your abdomen (laparoscopy). It may help doctors understand what areas of endometriosis are present and how well imaging matches symptoms and surgical findings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are a woman who could become pregnant (ages 18–55)
- You have symptoms that your doctor suspects are endometriosis, and you are scheduled for planned laparoscopy
- You can stay off hormone treatments for at least two treatment cycles before the scan/surgery
- You can give informed consent

This study uses a combined PET/MRI scan to better see endometriosis in people who are already scheduled for laparoscopic surgery. It may help find spots of endometriosis that are hard to see with other tests.
This trial tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer to find endometriosis lesions. It may help surgeons see exactly where the disease is, which could lead to more complete treatment.
This study tests whether a special type of PET-CT scan (FAPI PET-CT) can help doctors see endometriosis more clearly before surgery. It is for people who are already planning to have laparoscopic surgery to diagnose or treat endometriosis.
This study tests whether a special imaging scan (PET-CT) can better detect endometriosis—a condition where tissue grows where it shouldn't inside the pelvis. If you have chronic pelvic pain and are scheduled for a diagnostic procedure called laparoscopy, this scan might help doctors see the disease more clearly.
This Phase 2 study checks whether a new lab test (using samples from your body) can detect signs specific to endometriosis. It may help improve how endometriosis is identified, especially when people are heading toward laparoscopic surgery.
This trial uses MRI to diagnose pelvic endometriosis in patients who have not yet received treatment. It aims to see how well MRI can find endometriosis, which might help avoid surgery for diagnosis.
