Autopsy Validation of ���I-FP-CIT Dopaminergic Neuroimaging for the Diagnosis of DLB Neurol 88:276-283, Thomas, A.J.,et al, 2017 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract This large autopsy analysis of 123I-FP-CIT imaging in dementia demonstrates that it is a valid and accurate biomarker for DLB, and the high specificity compared with clinical diagnosis (20% higher) is clinically important. The results need to be replicated with patients recruited from a wider range of settings, including movement disorder clinics and general practice. While an abnormal 123I-FP-CIT scan strongly supports Lewy body disease, a normal scan does not exclude DLB with minimal brainstem involvement.
