Dopamine transporter (DAT) scan is important in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). We herein report a patient with vascular parkinsonism (VP) who showed dopamine transporter (DAT) scan findings which mimicked those typically seen in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). DAT scan find...
A multivariate ANOVA showed an excellent predictive function of baseline UPDRS for UPDRS at follow up, but not for 尾-CIT Scan. We conclude, that, particularly in cases of discordant result, the UPDRS is much more valuable for prediction of further disease progression....

Background: The use of I-123-mIBG has been approved for decades for Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis and as a predictor of mortality and potentially fatal events in patients with Heart Failure (HF). The standardized technique includes an early acquisition (15 minutes from injection), and a...

We examined the presence of cortical or subcortical brain atrophy (as shown by CT scans) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and assessed whether there were significant correlations between CT measurements and the presence of cognitive deficits. There were three main findings. First, ...
