18F FDG PET/CT images showing hypermetabolic lesions in the prosthetic tricuspid valve (arrows) and papillary muscle of the right ventricle (arrow heads). Beside these lesions, PET images revealed a less intensity focal FDG uptake in the pulmonary artery branch of the right lung lower lobe, which was consistent with septic pulmonary emboli (asterisk) (a axial plane, b: coronary plane). MIP: Maximum intensity projection
