The extra-cardiac work-up in infective endocarditis (IE) is comprises a search for both primary and secondary infective foci. Whether 18F-FDG PET/CT (PET/CT) or 99mTc-HMPAO white blood cell SPECT/CT (SPECT/CT) is superior in detection of extra-cardiac manifestations in IE is unexplored. The purposes
