Article Synopsis
- - Endometriosis can lead to issues like infertility, pelvic pain, and painful periods, and prior reports suggested that an 18F-fluoroestradiol (FES) tracer might help detect lesions using PET imaging.
- - In a study involving 6 patients, FES was administered and then imaged using a specialized PET-MR scanner, with surgical exploration following as the diagnostic standard.
- - The findings showed that PET was less sensitive than MR for identifying endometriosis lesions, and there was no significant correlation between tracer uptake and pain levels, indicating that FES PET-MR does not add value beyond standard MR imaging.

Monogenic diseases are frequent causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality, and disease presentations are often undifferentiated at birth. More than 3500 monogenic diseases have been characterized, but clinical testing is available for only some of them and many feature clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Hence, an immense unmet need exists for improved molecular diagnosis in infants.
