Objective
Parkinson disease (PD), parkinsonian syndromes (PS) and essential tremor (ET) are different types of movement disorders which share some symptoms resulting in a difficulty of certain diagnosis. This study was conducted to determine the value of 99mTc-TRODAT-1 scan to differentiate PD from ET and other PS cases.
Methods
Totally, 75 patients were studied including 29 PD, 6 possible PD, 22 ET and 18 PS cases. A dual-head SPECT-CT was used to perform basal ganglia (BG) imaging following administration of 99mTc-TRODAT-1. The BG uptake values were normalized to whole brain and occipital activity. All patients were followed for 2–22 months to reach a certain diagnosis.
Results
Patients with ET and drug-induced parkinsonism show significantly higher normalized BG uptake as compared to the …
