Official Title: Effect of 18-FDG PET/CT Imaging on Clinical Decision Making During the Acute Phase of Infective Endocarditis: a Multicenter Prospective Impact Study
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of 18-FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging in the managment of patients with suspected or proven IE in detecting cardiac valve damages and other extracardiac complications. The study will evaluate whether this procedure can change the clinical decisions (treatments, valve surgery, patients' overall care) and modify the diagnosis of IE.
