Trial design

Control group: patients with VAS < 4 treated surgically for endometriosis (infertility context); Test group: painful patients with VAS ≥ 4 treated surgically. Imaging comparator: MRI versus [18F]-FES PET/CT for lesion detection and characterization. Phase IV trial across 1 site in France.

Eligibility

Recruits 20 The trial does not select vulnerable populations. Patients under legal protection are explicitly excluded ("Patient under legal protection"). Participation requires informed consent from the adult patient (Age > 18 years old and "Patient with informed consent"). No assent procedures for minors are applicable because age >18 is required..

Pregnancy Exclusion

Vulnerable Population
The trial does not select vulnerable populations. Patients under legal protection are explicitly excluded ("Patient under legal protection"). Participation requires informed consent from the adult patient (Age > 18 years old and "Patient with informed consent"). No assent procedures for minors are applicable because age >18 is required.
