Video Summary

The video is a lecture given by Gabriel Grossman on the topic of infection PET imaging with F18 FDG. Grossman is a healthcare professional working at Hospital Moinhos de Vento in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The lecture aims to define the clinical value and indications for infection imaging with F18 FDG. Grossman discusses the limitations of traditional diagnostic criteria and the potential use of PET-CT in evaluating patients with infective endocarditis of prosthetic valves and devices. He highlights the benefits of PET-CT in detecting infections that may be missed by other imaging techniques like echocardiography. Grossman presents various case studies and research findings to support the use of PET-CT in diagnosing and evaluating infective endocarditis. He also emphasizes the importance of patient preparation and provides guidance on interpreting PET-CT images. Overall, the lecture demonstrates the potential of PET-CT as a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of infective endocarditis.
