Abstract
18 F-fludeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography computed tomography scans are helpful in making definitive diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) in some selected cases. We are reporting two cases of IE, in one case, the infective focus was in the organized left ventricular mural thrombus and the second case the infective focus was found in the aortic root and annulus and the prosthetic valve was spared. This being a noninvasive test can be repeated to ascertain the adequacy of treatment during follow-up.
