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.

"Dirty" brain white matter shows no link to dementia in older adults
Transaxial Zr-89 NMK89 PET/CT images 1, 24, 72, and 168 hours after injection showing increasing uptake in pancreatic tail adenocarcinoma. Maximum standard uptake value (SUV) in the pancreatic mass is 14 at 168 hours post-injection (crosshairs). PET SUV scale used for windowing was 0 to 10.
