What is Dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging in Parkinson’s disease and related disorders about?
This review gives an insight into the beginnings of dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging in the early 1990s, focussing on single photon emission tomography (SPECT). The development of the method and its consolidation as a now widely used clinical tool is described. The role of DAT-SPECT in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PD, atypical parkinsonian syndromes and several other different neurological disorders is reviewed. Finally the clinical research using DAT-SPECT as a biomarker for the progression of PD, for the detection of a preclinical dopaminergic lesion and its correlation with neuropathological findings is outlined.
