## Abstract Thirty‐one drug‐naive patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) underwent 6‐[^18^F]fluoro‐L‐dopa (F‐dopa) positron emission tomography (PET) scan at the time of the diagnosis (baseline) and 2 years later in order to investigate F‐dopa uptake in striatal and extrastriatal regions during the
## Abstract Progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms is imperfectly correlated with positron emission tomography biomarkers for dopamine biosynthetic pathways. The radiopharmaceutical 6‐[^18^F]fluoro‐m‐tyrosine is not a substrate for catechol‐__O__‐methyltransferase and therefore has a more favo
## Abstract Sixteen subjects with de novo Parkinson's disease (PD) underwent three 6‐[18F]fluoro‐L‐dopa (Fdopa) positron emission tomography (PET) scans during a follow‐up time of 5 years (mean ± SD 5.5 ± 0.4 years) to study the progression of striatal dopaminergic hypofunction. Throughout the stud
## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of progression in Parkinson's disease (PD) with 6‐[^18^F]fluoro‐L‐dopa (FDOPA) positron emission tomography (PET). We investigated 21 patients with PD and eight healthy controls. Ten of the patients were de novo at the time of the first
