Doença de Parkinson: neuroimagem do transportador de dopamina em casos de dúvida diagnóstica (Resumo)

Introduction: Misdiagnosis in Parkinson’s disease (PD) can reach 25%. Recently, single-photon emission computer tomography (SPECT), using dopamine transporter (DAT) radioligands, has become useful to help diagnose clinically unclear cases of Parkinsonism (CUCP). Objectives: Study 1 reported the rationale of molecular imaging in CUCP. Study 2 evaluated the role of DAT neuroimaging in CUCP. Study...

Nigrostriatal dopamine terminal imaging with dopamine transporter SPECT: an update.

This article gives an update on nigrostriatal dopamine terminal imaging, with emphasis on SPECT performed with the presynaptic dopamine transporter (DAT) ligand (123)I-FP-CIT. The paper covers the rational use of this technique in the diagnostic work-up of patients with known or suspected parkinsonian syndromes. In detail, it addresses the impact of the method for the proof or exclusion of neur...

Dopamine Transporter Imaging in Psychogenic Parkinsonism and Neurodegenerative Parkinsonism with Psychogenic Overlay: A Report of Three Cases

BACKGROUND Differentiating psychogenic parkinsonism from neurodegenerative Parkinson's disease (PD) with psychogenic features is a diagnostic challenge. CASE REPORT We report a detailed longitudinal clinical description of three cases presenting with suspected psychogenic parkinsonism. Dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography (DAT-SPECT) was used as a supplemental diagn...

Diagnoses behind patients with hard-to-classify tremor and normal DaT-SPECT: a clinical follow up study

The [(123)I]ioflupane-a dopamine transporter radioligand-SPECT (DaT-SPECT) has proven to be useful in the differential diagnosis of tremor. Here, we investigate the diagnoses behind patients with hard-to-classify tremor and normal DaT-SPECT. Therefore, 30 patients with tremor and normal DaT-SPECT were followed up for 2 years. In 18 cases we were able to make a diagnosis. The residual 12 patient...

The diagnostic accuracy of dopamine transporter SPECT imaging to detect nigrostriatal cell loss in patients with Parkinson’s disease or clinically uncertain parkinsonism: a systematic review

In specialized movement disorder centers, Parkinson's disease (PD) is wrongly diagnosed in 6 to 25% of cases. To improve the accuracy of the clinical diagnosis, it is necessary to have a reliable and practical reference standard. Dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography (DAT SPECT) imaging might have the potential (high diagnostic accuracy and practical to use) to act as ...
