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).[2][3]
- Sonography: In sonography of PD patient’s brain we can see hyperechogenicity of the STN.
