Test –retest reproducibility of dopamine transporter density measured with [ 18 F]FP-CIT PET in patients with essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease

Conclusion[18F]FP-CIT PET is reproducible for the quantitative measurement of DAT binding in both ET and PD individuals, independent of the acquisition time or analysis method. Also, the automatic  method is more suitable for evaluating early loss of DAT binding in patients with PD
