Abstract excerpt
Positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) provide the means to studying in vivo the neurochemical, hemodynamic or metabolic consequences of the degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system in Parkinson's disease (PD). The extent of striatal dopaminergic denervation can be quantified with radiotracers as [18F]FDopa for PET and [123I]tropanes for SPECT. There...
