title: Technetium-99m-ubiquicidin scintigraphy in the detection of infective endocarditis.
abstract: We present a case of infective endocarditis (IE) diagnosed by the increased (99m)Tc-UBI specific uptake in the tricuspid valve region. In conclusion, our case data may indicate a first pass-like distribution with strong avidity of the tracer to infective endocarditis, facilitating image interpretation.
