Endometriosis can take up to nine years to diagnose, and for many patients, surgery is currently the only definitive option. At the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, researchers are using total-body PET to trial two novel radiotracers, GP1 and FAPI, that target the distinct bleeding and scarring processes behind different types of endometriosis lesions. The study could pave the way for a faster, non-invasive diagnostic pathway, reducing unnecessary surgeries and improving understanding of how the condition develops and responds to treatment.
