Detection of infective endocarditis with [64Cu]Cu-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography: a case series
In conclusion, this is the first case series presenting two patients with definite IE (modified Duke criteria), who were scanned with the novel [<sup>64</sup>Cu]Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT. Patient 1, with endocarditis in the MVP, showed an uptake of the tracer, while Patient 2, with native aortic valve endocarditis, did not show any uptake.
