Abstract:
As F-fluciclovine (FACBC) becomes more popular, new incidental findings are discovered. We present here a case of a 71-year-old man with prostate cancer in whom an FACBC PET/CT showed uptake in the superior sagittal sinus, which was found to be simply due to a dilated superior sagittal sinus on subsequent MRI. Accumulation in the superior sagittal sinus is a variant that interpreters of FACBC PET/CT should be aware of.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
