Testing FAPI PET-CT to Diagnose Endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 studies a special PET/CT scan called FAPI PET/CT to see how well it can detect or track cancerous tumors. It may help doctors better understand your cancer without extra procedures.
This trial uses a special imaging scan called FAPI-PET to help doctors better diagnose pancreatic cancer. If you are suspected of having pancreatic cancer or a recurrence, this study may help confirm or clarify your diagnosis.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan (Ga68-FAPI-46) to better see if cancer from the colon, rectum, or ovary has spread to the lining of the belly. If you are already scheduled for surgery to remove these cancer spots, this scan may help your doctors plan a more complete operation.
