| Abstract: | Interests of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) have been demonstrated since many years. FDG physiopathology explains its use for infectious diseases, especially in infective endocarditis, cardiac electronic device infection, and in vascular graft infection, as well as in fever of unknown origin. FDG PET is very interesting to make the diagnostic and for the extension of these infectious diseases, thanks to the whole body acquisition. This synthesis article identifies and illustrates principal indications in this field of this imagery modality. |
