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.
