Abstract

Dopamine transporter SPECT imaging is a valuable tool to estimate the integrity of presynaptic dopaminergic pathways in degenerative parkinsonisms. Evidence about SPECT differential pattern between parkinsonian and cerebellar forms of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P and MSA-C) is lacking. We aimed at assessing whether MSA-P and MSA-C variants have a distinct semiquantitative I-FP-CIT SPECT pattern.
