New PET scan for endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special PET scan can help doctors see endometriosis tissue during a routine laparoscopy. The scan may light up active disease and help guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis.
- You have clinical signs or imaging (ultrasound or MRI) suggesting deep endometriosis or endometriosis outside the pelvis.
- You have not had abdominal surgery in the last year.

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 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 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.
This trial tests whether a special PET/CT scan (using a drug called [18F]F-FAPI) and a laparoscopy (a small camera through the belly) can better show the spread of advanced stomach or esophagus cancer before surgery. The goal is to help doctors decide the best treatment plan.
