Overview
Other Imaging Findings
PET scan: In PET scan we can see that the uptake of [18F]-flurodopa tracer in reduce in the caudate and putamen in PD patients.[1]
DaTscan: This technique can help us differentiate healthy individuals or patients with essential tremor from diseases with nigrostriatal degeneration (PD, MSA, PSP, and cortical degeneration).
