الإجابة: A. TTE
Suspected infective endocarditis is confirmed with echocardiography, and TTE is the initial screening test for most patients (TEE is more sensitive and follows if needed). CXR may show septic emboli but does not diagnose IE.

ليش غلط
The Duke imaging criterion is echocardiographic endocardial involvement (vegetation, abscess, valve perforation). A chest X-ray cannot show this, so it does not diagnose IE.
