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.
