Interpreting DAT Imaging Results in the Clinical Context

Dr. Jeff Ratliff, a specialist in DAT imaging, joins Dr. Eduardo De Pablo-Fernández, an expert on Parkinsonian disorders, to discuss the critical role of dopamine transporter imaging in diagnosis. They explore how DAT imaging can effectively differentiate between Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy, while also addressing its limitations in tau-related conditions. Key insights include the influence of alpha-synuclein on neurodegenerative disorders and the challenges of interpreting imaging results, particularly for progressive supranuclear palsy.
