Clinical utility of DaTscan in patients with suspected Parkinsonian syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Images of DaTscan (ioflupane [123I] SPECT) have been used as an adjunct to clinical diagnosis to facilitate the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative (ND) Parkinsonian Syndrome (PS) vs. non-dopamine deficiency aetiologies of Parkinsonism. Despite several systematic reviews having summ...
