Interpreting 123I–ioflupane dopamine transporter scans using hybrid scores

Abstract Background Dopamine transporter (DaT) 123I–FP-CIT scans most commonly are interpreted visually. Alternatively, absolute quantitation of radiopharmaceutical uptake may improve scan accuracy. However, neither approach accomodates dependence of striatal uptake on age and gender. We investigate...
