New scan to find endometriosis spots
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 collects blood and small tissue samples during planned gynecological surgery to better diagnose endometriosis and predict its course. It may help future patients by making diagnoses and outlook more accurate.
This study tests new non-invasive methods to diagnose endometriosis (a painful condition where tissue grows outside the uterus) and personalize treatment plans using advanced imaging and blood tests. If you have or suspect endometriosis, this research may help develop better ways to identify and treat the condition.
This study looks at whether surgery can help reduce pelvic pain caused by advanced endometriosis. It aims to predict who will get the most benefit from the operation.
