[18F]FDG-PET CT for the evaluation of native valve endocarditis

Gad Abikhzer et al.

Summary: This study examined the use of [F-18]FDG-PET/CT for diagnosing native valve endocarditis (NVE). The results showed that using [F-18]FDG-PET/CT as a major criterion in the modified Duke criteria improved the diagnostic performance, particularly in patients with Possible IE.

Correlating cardiac F-18 FDG PET/CT results with intra-operative findings in infectious endocarditis

Sami El-Dalati et al.

Summary: Multiple studies have shown that cardiac F-18 PET/CT can assist in the diagnosis of endocarditis when combined with conventional imaging modalities, potentially improving the sensitivity of the Duke Criteria. In a review of surgically managed endocarditis cases, F-18 cardiac PET/CT scans were found to closely correlate with intra-operative findings and guide surgical decision-making, suggesting its potential inclusion in the American Heart Association endocarditis guidelines.
