Core Tip	Cardiovascular implantable electronic device infection and prosthetic valve endocarditis remain a diagnostic challenge. This review article describes the evolving role of cardiac radionuclide imaging in the diagnosis and management of cardiac infections. It focuses on recent published studies, indications and limitations of both 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and radiolabelled white blood cell single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography.
