-99m TRODAT-1 SPECT Imaging Protocol Guideline

摘要

Tc-99m TRODAT-1 SPECT tracer is currently one of the most widely used dopamine active transporter (DAT) imaging probes in cerebral pre-synaptic sites. There are more and more articles of DAT research showing that DAT could be a prognostic index for the diagnosis of Parkinsonism and psychiatric diseases. However, many hospitals have big conflicts with the quantification of Tc-99m TRODAT-1 imaging analysis, image acquisition protocols, and image reconstruction algorithms. To establish a Tc-99m TRODAT-1 SPECT imaging procedural guideline is a task which brooks no delay. There will be strong incentives to increase the usage of Tc-99m TRODAT-1 SPECT imaging, and it will provide useful information in the diagnosis and evaluation of suspected cases of neurodegenerative Parkinsonism.
