New scan may spot endometriosis without surgery
NCT ID NCT06377553
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special PET/MRI scan can find endometriosis more accurately than current methods like ultrasound or MRI alone. About 60 women with suspected endometriosis will get the scan before surgery, and results will be compared to surgical findings. If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to diagnose endometriosis and guide treatment.
