| Abstract: | Endometriosis has been detected incidentally in patients who have had positron emission tomography (PET) scans for other conditions. Several case reports have described endometriosis as mimicking malignancy in PET scans. Our recent systematic review determined that F-FDG is not a reliable PET tracker for endometriosis, and there are inconsistent or limited findings regarding other tracers. Therefore we aim to explore the expression for several plausible endometriosis markers in human tissues for already existing PET tracers. |
