18F-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 to 18F-NaF accumulation should be recognized by medical radiologists to prevent false-positive results in PET/CT examinations using the tracer 18F-NaF.
