Fibroblast activation protein imaging (FAPI) offers superior visualization of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions. This novel technique shows promise as a future diagnostic tool for endometriosis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Oncology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a debilitating condition.
  • Current imaging modalities like ultrasonography and MRI have limitations in DIE visualization.
  • Accurate DIE diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the visualization capabilities of fibroblast activation protein imaging (FAPI) for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions.
  • To compare FAPI's performance against conventional imaging techniques (ultrasonography and MRI).

Main Methods:

  • A case report detailing the use of FAPI in a patient with suspected DIE.
  • Comparative analysis of imaging findings from FAPI, ultrasonography, and MRI.

Main Results:

  • FAPI provided enhanced visualization of DIE lesions compared to ultrasonography and MRI.
  • Specific details on lesion conspicuity and anatomical detail visualized by FAPI.

Conclusions:

  • FAPI demonstrates significant potential as an advanced diagnostic tool for deep infiltrating endometriosis.
  • Further research is warranted to establish FAPI's role in routine endometriosis assessment.
