Abstract (EN): DaTSCAN (123I¿FP¿CIT) brain SPECT studies have great clinical impact in differential diagnosis of movement disorders in particular to confirm the presence or otherwise of dopaminergic degeneration in the nigrostriatal pathway. Several quantitative algorithms have been described to obtain more objective data to enable higher confidence in the diagnosis, inter-group analysis and longitudinal evaluation of the same individual
