Abstract
- 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of endocarditis, especially in the setting of infection of prosthetic materials. Adequate knowledge of physiologic variants and possible confounders is key in the correct interpretation of FDG-PET/CT findings.
