¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT of a 73-year-old man with implanted ICD, with suspected CIEDI due to the presence of local signs of infection and positive blood culture for Staphylococcus aureus. (A) MIP, (B) axial PET and (C) axial fusion images demonstrate the presence of intense and nonhomogeneous increased ¹⁸F-FDG uptake around the device, at the generator pocket (SUV_max 12.9) (red arrows). After the extraction of the device, microbiological analysis confirmed the infection caused by the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus.
