Clinical Summary: Use of DaTSCAN
Diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease: use of presynaptic dopaminergic imaging
This is a brief clinical summary, supported by a series of 7 Critically Appraised Topics (CATs), which addresses: when and why a DaTSCAN should be requested; interpretation of the scan; and how to prepare patients.
This clinical summary and 7 associated critically appraised topics are in need of review. They have been moved to the Excellence Network resource library on Basecamp (online platform) until they can be reviewed.
| CAT 1: Accuracy | CAT 5: Uptake pattern |
| CAT 2: Prognosis | CAT 6: Drug interactions |
| CAT 3: Cost-effectiveness | CAT 7: Neurogenetic parkinsonian conditions |
| CAT 4: Applications |
