Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in women aged from 20 to 40. While laparoscopy and MRI are commonly used methods for detecting endometriosis, its diagnosis remains a challenge due to variations in location of endometrial tissue and symptoms which can vary between individuals.1 We are designing a system that implements photoacoustic spectroscopy in combination with ultrasound to detect endometriosis in vivo without the insertion of a transvaginal probe. In this paper, we will present the design of our system, preliminary results using optical phantoms and discuss the feasibility of our approach in non-invasive in vivo detection of endometriosis.
