Abstract

Neuroimaging is increasingly used to support the clinical diagnosis of patients with cognitive impairment. Dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging, such as DaTSCAN SPECT, tests the integrity of the nigrostriatal pathway, whereas FDG-PET identifies typical patterns of cortical and subcortical hypometabolism. The aim of this study was to assess the relative contribution of DAT and regional glucose metabolism imaging to the differential diagnosis.
