Summary
This study is testing whether a special full-body PET/CT scan can spot endometriosis without needing surgery.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
68Ga-FAPI and 18F-GP1 radiotracers
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a non-surgical way to diagnose endometriosis, reducing diagnostic delays and surgical risks.
What could go wrong
This is a small early study with only 30 participants, and the tracers may not clearly distinguish endometriosis from other conditions. The scans also involve radiation exposure.
