2-[18F]F-<i>p</i>-Aminobenzoic Acid Specifically Detects Infective Endocarditis in Positron Emission Tomography
This study highlights the potential of 2-[18F]F-PABA PET imaging for direct visualization of IE. Future research may further investigate its diagnostic performance in larger models, aiming toward clinical application as a precise, pathogen-specific imaging tool for managing IE.
