    PET/Computed Tomography Evaluation of Infection of the Heart
    (2019) MILLAR, Beverley Cherie; CAMARGO, Raphael Abegao de; ALAVI, Abass; MOORE, John Edmund
    The 2015 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the management of infective endocarditis included 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) in the diagnostic work-up of prosthetic valve endocarditis. This article examines the literature from the last 3 years to highlight the additional role 18F-FDG-PET/CT can contribute to an accurate diagnosis of cardiac infections and associated infectious complications. The challenges and pitfalls associated with 18F-FDG-PET/CT in such clinical settings must be recognized and these are discussed along with the suggested protocols that may be incorporated in an attempt to address these issues.
