Diff Diag of parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sys Atrophy, & Steele-Richardson-Olszewski Syndrome:Striatal F-Dopa PET Data JNNP 57:278-284, Burn,D.J.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract F-dopa PET successfully discriminates normal subjects from parkinsonian patients,and patients with Parkinson's disease from patients with SRO,but is less reliable in distinguishing Parkinson's disease from MSA.The concomitant assessment of striatal neuronal function with additional PET tracers may be necessary to reliably differentiate typical and atypical parkinsonian syndromes.
