1 Contributory Role of Fluorine 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis and Clinical Management of Infections in Patients Supported With a Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device  Angelo Maria Dell’Aquila, MD, Stefano Mastrobuoni, MD, MPH, Sebastian Alles, MD, Christian Wenning, MD, Welp Henryk, MD, Stefan Rudolf Bertram Schneider, MD, Heinz Deschka, MD, Jürgen R. Sindermann, MD, Mirela Scherer, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 101, Issue 1, Pages (January 2016) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Three different visualizations are shown of a deep driveline infection (arrow): (left) computed tomography (CT), (middle) positron emission tomography (PET), and (right) fusion PET/CT.

3 Fig 2 Frontal views of (A) position emission tomography and (B) computed tomography scans. The deep driveline infection (arrow) is localized at the right site of abdomen, whereas the piercing site of driveline is on the left site.
