TL;DR: A systematic literature review found positive albeit weak evidence for the diagnostic benefit of 18F-FDG PET/CT and MDCTA, and proposes an evidence-based diagnostic work-up for infective endocarditis including these non-invasive techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac imaging in infectious endocarditis
TL;DR: A flowchart for the use of imaging in both left-sided and right-sided endocarditis is suggested and there are distinct limitations with both SPECT/CT and (18)F-FDG PET-CT which should not be neglected.

TL;DR: PET/CT is a useful adjunctive diagnostic tool in the evaluation of diagnostically challenging cases of IE, particularly in prosthetic valve endocarditis and has the potential to detect clinically relevant extracardiac foci of infection, malignancy, and other sources of inflammation leading to more appropriate treatment regimens and surgical intervention.

TL;DR: Investigating the diagnostic performance of (99m)Tc-hexamethypropylene amine oxime labeled autologous white blood cell scintigraphy in patients with suspected infections associated with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices found it enabled the confirmation of the presence of CIED-associated infection, definition of the extent of device involvement, and detection of associated complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pivotal role of FDG-PET/CT in modern medicine.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss contemporary applications of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-Dglucose (FDG)-PET and FDG-PET/CT as well as novel developments in quantification and potential future indications including the emerging new modality PET/magnetic resonance imaging.

New criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis : Utilization of specific echocardiographic findings. Duke Endocarditis Service
TL;DR: Application of the proposed new criteria increases the number of definite diagnoses and should be useful for more accurate diagnosis and classification of patients with suspected endocarditis and provide better entry criteria for epidemiologic studies and clinical trials.
