Summary
123I-FP-CIT SPECT (DaTSCAN®) allows to detect presynaptic dopamine neuronal denervation.
It is recommended to differentiate neurodegenerative parkinsonism from secondary parkinsonian syndromes or from essential tremor, and to distinguish patients with suspected dementia with Lewy bodies and those with other subtypes of dementia.
The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the relevance of 123I-FP-CIT SPECT prescriptions, the profile of prescribers and the evolution of the prescription rate over a ten-year period.
