As well as establishing the added value of PET/TC, improving the diagnostic accuracy of the modified Duke criteria in 92 patients with IE and prosthetic valves and cardiac devices, Pizzi et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> also showed that the use of PET/contrast-enhanced CT yielded even better diagnostic performance values than PET/non-enhanced CT.
