18 F-NaF uptake in dentomaxillofacial bones as a result of oral alterations: a positron emission tomography/computerized tomography scanning study

Conclusion18F-NaF uptake in the maxilla or mandible could be influenced by oral alterations in the alveolar bones. The alterations in the oral cavity that lead to18F-NaF accumulation should be recognized by medical radiologists to prevent false-positive results in PET/CT examinations using the tracer18F-NaF.
