A pilot study from the University of Oxford demonstrated the potential of SPECT-CT imaging to diagnose endometriosis, correctly identifying the condition in 14 out of 17 women who were later confirmed through surgery. This imaging technique could significantly reduce the current 7-10 year diagnostic delay for a condition affecting roughly one in ten women of reproductive age. Additionally, Ziwig Lab has launched a saliva-based test for endometriosis, available in 30 countries, addressing the issue of pain dismissal, as 42% of patients reported their symptoms were initially disregarded.
