Overview
Abdominal CT scan and brain MRI can be helpful in further investigation of the symptoms that are associated with endocarditis.
Other Imaging Findings
Abdominal CT/MRI
- Abdominal CT scan is ordered in patients with acute abdominal pain or pain radiating to the back or left upper quadrant to detect splenic abscess or complicated splenic infarction.
- Abdominal CT and MRI appear to be the best tests for diagnosing splenic abscess, with both sensitivities and specificities ranging from 90% to 95%.[1]
Brain MRI/MRA
- MRI can be used to detect acute septic embolization in acute infective endocarditis.[2]
- Also both brain MRI/MRA and brain CT/CTA may be used in the detection and monitoring of intracranial aneurysms.[1]
