18-Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography: an additional tool in the diagnosis of prosthetic valve endocarditis

Objectives: To evaluate the role of 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET–CT) in the diagnosis of infectious endocarditis (IE). Methods: We retrospectively examined 27 consecutive patients who were admitted to the Infectious Diseases Department of Tor...
