Positron emission tomography (FDG PET-CT) is a widely used method to help in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE). Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is an uncommon fat deposition in the region of the interatrial septum. PET-CT images of LHIS may be indistinguishable from changes associated with IE.
正电子发射断层扫描(氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描,FDG PET-CT)是一种广泛用于辅助诊断感染性心内膜炎(IE)的方法。房间隔脂肪增多症(LHIS)是房间隔区域一种罕见的脂肪沉积。LHIS的PET-CT图像可能与IE相关的改变难以区分。
