Do not use brain scintigraphic examinations such as brain SPECT (Single Photon Emission Tomography) with dopamine transporter marker (DAT-SCAN) or myocardial examination with Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) as well as positron emission brain tomography (PET) with any radionuclide, for diagnostic confirmation of Parkinson’s disease or to evaluate its progression.
The finding of a positive brain SPECT (single photon emission tomography) scan with dopamine transporter marker (DAT-SCAN) does not establish a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, which is instead based on the presence of clinical elements that meet the current...
Ionizing Radiation: X-rays should not be carried out unless a specific clinical indication.
Radiological examinations are a valuable diagnostic aid but the possible damage they can cause to the patient, future generations and the environment must be taken into account. In particular, given the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of ionizing radiation,...
