Evaluation of Endometriosis With 18F-fluoroestradiol PET / MRI
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Endometriosis
In brief
Purpose: The primary objective is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of 18F-fluoroestradiol (FES) PET/MRI for evaluating endometriosis. Participants: A total of 12 participants will be recruited from individuals with clinically suspected endometriosis who are scheduled for planned operative laparoscopy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). Procedures (methods): This is a prospective, one arm, single center study of 12 subjects with clinically suspected endometriosis to demonstrate FES PET/MR's clinical utility for diagnosis of endometriosis. This study will be an evaluation of the radiotracer, FES, which binds to estrogen receptors and has previously been used to study estrogen receptor expression in tumors, to detect endometriosis. Participants will undergo one FES PET/MR scan within 4 weeks prior to their scheduled surgery. Participants will also complete questionnaires regarding their condition, pain, and quality of life.
