## Abstract [^11^C] Raclopride uptake to dopamine D~2~ receptors was investigated with positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with early Parkinson's disease at the time of the diagnosis and after a half‐year interval. During this progressive period of the disease, the patients received no a
11 C]raclopride binding to D2 dopamine receptors in the striatum is sensitive to drug-induced changes of endogenous dopamine concentration. We recently developed the new radioligand [ 11 C]FLB 457, which is suitable for positron emission tomography (PET) studies of extrastriatal D2 dopamine recepto
