Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition that is often treated by surgery. MRI and ultrasound are used for the preoperative morphological assessment. Currently, only surgery allows the exhaustive and qualitative diagnosis of lesions.

The PET scan, fixing in certain inflammatory pathologies and in certain cases of endometriosis, could refine this assessment by evaluating the location of the lesions.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: PET scanner with injection of 18 FDG (18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose) (radiolabel)

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: PET scanner in addition to MRI

Drug: PET scanner with injection of 18 FDG (18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose) (radiolabel)
A PET scan will be performed in the patients included, in addition to the conventional imaging workup (MRI, endovaginal and pelvic ultrasound).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. To assess the PET scan in the diagnosis of endometriosis lesions compared to surgery in terms of number of lesions diagnosed and locations. [at inclusion (before surgery)]

    Total number of endometriosis lesions diagnosed by the PET scanner

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Compare the results of the PET scanner and MRI for the sensitivity of detection of endometriosis lesions [up to 14 weeks (after surgery)]

    number of endometriosis lesions

  2. Compare the results of the PET scanner and MRI for the sensitivity of detection of endometriosis lesions [up to 14 weeks (after surgery)]

    location of endometriosis lesions

  3. Define a reading threshold of SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) on a PET scanner for the diagnosis of endometriosis [up to 14 weeks (after PET-Scanner)]

    degree of inflammation of the cells

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years to 50 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
Female
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Patient aged over 18 and under 50

  • Patient with symptomatic endometriosis with indication for surgery

  • Showing at least one typical endometriosis lesion on MRI, greater than 5mm

  • Accepting surgical management

  • Having signed an informed consent after information

  • Affiliate or beneficiary of a social security scheme

Exclusion Criteria:
