The utility of a new quantitative index in the diagnosis of Parkinson syndrome on dopamine transporter SPECT

Conclusions: We proposed the new quantitative index "f-DTV" on DAT SPECT. It was strongly correlated with SBR and had a high diagnostic ability for differentiating PD from non-PD. F-DTV can evaluate both the volume and degree of active dopamine transporter at once, making it a useful marker in Parkinson syndrome.
