Summary

This study is testing whether a special PET scan called 18F-FES PET/CT can find endometriosis lesions more accurately than standard MRI. The scan measures estrogen receptors in the lesions, which may help doctors understand pain levels and guide treatment. About 20 women with endometriosis will take part, including those with high pain and those with low or no pain.
