F-18 fluciclovine PET/CT images in a 59-year-old man with biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy (prostate-specific antigen level, 0.42 ng/mL; Gleason score, 5 + 4 = 9; T3BN1M0). (A) Coronal PET and (B) maximum intensity projection images show multiple retroperitoneal lymph nodes with abnormal radiotracer uptake (arrows). (C) Axial PET and (D) axial fused PET/CT images show the index lesion (arrow), measuring 13 × 10 mm, on the right precaval lymph node. The initial decision to offer radiation therapy to the prostate bed and pelvis was changed to a decision not to offer radiation therapy.

Examples of DAWM on FLAIR MRI slices. Transversal slices of 1.5T FLAIR MRI scans. For visualization only, brains were skull-stripped and DAWM is shown with dotted lines (occipital DAWM is red, parietal DAWM is orange). Top row images (25% of lobar WM) show larger, more confluent configurations of DAWM, extending beyond the slices shown here.
