Summary

This trial will assess the sensitivity and specificity of FFNP PET/MRI for diagnosis of endometriosis in 24 participants.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-55 who may have endometriosis, are scheduled for laparoscopy, and haven't taken hormone treatments recently. Participants must be able to consent and not be institutionalized or pregnant. They should not have a history of certain cancers or allergies to contrast used in MRI.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of a PET/MRI scan using a tracer called FFNP to diagnose endometriosis in women with symptoms suggestive of the condition. It's a single-group study aiming to determine how well this imaging technique can identify endometriosis.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects could include reactions to the PET tracer FFNP or gadolinium contrast used in MRI, such as allergic reactions, nausea, or dizziness. Kidney function might also be affected if there's pre-existing kidney disease.
