Effects of medication on dopamine transporter imaging using [123I]I-FP-CIT SPECT in routine practice

ConclusionOur study confirms the potential impact of antidepressant (NASSA) and opioid (tramadol) medications on the semi-quantitative analysis of  [123I]I-FP-CIT SPECT scans. However, when performing a visual analysis, only NASSAs significantly impacted the interpretation of  [123I]I-FP-CIT SPECT scans.
