Visualization of pericarditis by fluorodeoxyglucose PET [PDF]
European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2013 We describe a case of postpericardiotomy syndrome imaged by positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and computed tomography (CT). A 53-year-old woman had surgical aortic valve replacement with mechanical prosthesis due to severe aortic valve regurgitation.
