Positron emission tomography/computed tomography fusion imaging for a 56-year-old man in southern France with Bartonella henselae prosthetic valve endocarditis. Left panel, frontal computed tomography image showing morphologic findings. Middle panel, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) showing a cardiac hotspot (arrow) in relation to abnormal uptake of 18FDG. Right panel, fusion image combining 18F-FDG-PET and computed tomography showing localization of an aortic valv
