RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES
We evaluated the effectiveness of positron emission tomography (PET) with 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) in the detection of infectious endocarditis/endoarteritis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
For this study, we recruited 6 patients (4 women, 2 men; age range, 35 - 78 years; mean age, 55.8 +/- 16.8 years) who were clinically diagnosed as having infective endocarditis/endoarteritis by their echocardiographic findings and by Duke criteria.
RESULTS
For all 6 patients, we also found increased FDG uptakes in the corresponding areas detected in echocardiography.
CONCLUSION
FDG-PET appears to be a promising tool in diagnosing infective endocarditis/endoarteritis, and further prospective studies on a large scale to fully exploit the usefulness of FDG-PET for infective endocarditis/endoarteritis are needed.
原理与目的
我们评估了18-氟-2-脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）正电子发射断层扫描（PET）在检测感染性心内膜炎/动脉内膜炎中的有效性。
材料与方法
在本研究中，我们招募了6名患者（4名女性，2名男性；年龄范围35 - 78岁；平均年龄55.8 +/- 16.8岁），这些患者经超声心动图检查结果及杜克标准临床诊断为感染性心内膜炎/动脉内膜炎。
结果
对于所有6名患者，我们还在超声心动图检测到的相应区域发现FDG摄取增加。
结论
FDG-PET似乎是诊断感染性心内膜炎/动脉内膜炎的一种有前景的工具，需要进一步进行大规模前瞻性研究以充分利用FDG-PET对感染性心内膜炎/动脉内膜炎的诊断价值。
