In recent years, molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and more
recently, PET coupled with computed tomography (CT) have made a valuable impact in …

It was our purpose to evaluate the clinical impact of systematic PET/CT for the diagnosis of
infectious embolisms in patients with infectious endocarditis (IE) in comparison with a …

Objectives The primary objective was to assess the value of the European Society of
Cardiology (ESC) criteria, including 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission …

Background The diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE), especially the diagnosis of
prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is challenging since echocardiographic findings are …

Aims Whole body imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission
tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) has proven useful in various infectious …

Objective We performed a meta-analysis evaluating the use of fluorine-18-
fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography …

Background—The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is increasing, and
their associated infections result in significant morbidity and mortality. The introduction of …

Background: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) chronic infection diagnosis is
challenging because the clinical presentation is frequently misleading and …

Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical importance of 18F-FDG-
PET/CT used in the extra cardiac work-up of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) …

Aims To examine the utility of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission
tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in the early diagnosis of cardiac …
