Endometriosis is a vastly under-researched condition affecting women, but it is finally receiving the attention it deserves through the RACOON FADEN project.
In an insightful interview, Prof. Dr. Sylvia Mechsner (Charité Berlin) and Prof. Dr. Matthias May (University Hospital Erlangen) discuss the RACOON FADEN project, which focuses on the early detection of adenomyosis, a form of endometriosis.
This project addresses a critical gap in the diagnosis and treatment of women with severe menstrual pain. The study uses MRI scans to detect early signs of adenomyosis and gain a deeper understanding of the morphology of a healthy uterus. Additionally, the interview highlights the innovative use of structured reporting and the existing RACOON infrastructure to enhance diagnostic precision and accelerate research.
