AI-Powered PET scans could revolutionize heart device infection diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07454096
First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study explores whether artificial intelligence can make PET scans better at detecting and monitoring infections in implanted heart devices like pacemakers and artificial valves. Researchers will compare AI analysis of scans to standard visual interpretation in 200 patients. If it works, this could lead to faster, more accurate diagnoses and better tracking of treatment response.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
FDG-PET/CT imaging
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, non-invasive way to diagnose and monitor heart device infections, potentially reducing unnecessary treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center, early-phase study with only 200 participants. The AI-based method may not prove more accurate than current approaches, and results may not apply to all patients or devices.
