## Abstract Parkinsonism in patients taking neuroleptic medications might be induced by dopamine receptor blockade alone or by dopamine blockade with nigrostriatal dysfunction. The differentiation between Parkinson's disease (PD) and drug‐induced parkinsonism (DIP) is difficult to assess on clinica

## Abstract There is substantial evidence to support a role for small vessel disease (SVD) as a cause for vascular parkinsonism (VP). Using [^123^I] FP‐CIT SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography), we have tried to determine whether VP patients have pre‐synaptic dopaminergic function simi
## Abstract We assessed the status of dopamine nerve terminals in patients treated with dopamine receptor blocking agents (DRBAs) who had developed drug‐induced parkinsonism (DIP). We performed [^123^I]FP‐CIT SPET in 32 consecutive patients who were on DRBAs for at least 6 months and developed extr
## Abstract We aimed to investigate the accuracy of transcranial brain parenchyma sonography (TCS) for differentiation between idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) in comparison to ^123^I‐FP‐CIT SPECT (FP‐CIT SPECT). Seventy‐four patients, in whom PD or ET was suspected on
The variability in clinical features and the masking effects of drug therapy in Parkinson's disease (PD) can affect clinical assessment of disease severity. The aim of this study was to assess the imaging of dopamine transporters using 123 I-FP-CIT SPECT and its correlation with disease staging, sev
